Strength Dimension Explained:

---

Physical exercise is part of the life of one who is traveler towards embracing Messiah. Sports begins with an S. And it is built of these S’s:

Strength: means you can exert force to the ultimate of human capability against a resisting body whether it is a material thing or it is a living thing that is deliberately fight you back.

• For some one who is partly disabled in the body the criteria for strength are different and should be measured by an expert. For an able body person the first sign of being strong is how far he is pushing on his toes when walking. To know that one should walk on a plastic material, similar to moist soft sand on a beach, to get a mould of his feet. Deeper the front of the feet more powerful is the person. It is due to the fact that evolution is not yet happy how a man is balanced on his feet and pushes him to gain more balance in walking on his legs. Children are the best practitioners of evolution. They try to push the evolution higher when you watch them. They play hop scotch to improve their balance. They work out their tip toe strength while standing on one leg and carefully moving the stone inside a pattern drawn on the floor. To gauge further, you can try to put on your socks while standing just on the other foot. More comfortable you do this more strong you are. You can use this simple practice, especially when you are getting older, or try to do your boot lace on a standing position instead of bending down or putting your foot on a step. When you are jogging or walking try to do it on a tip toe manner. Ultimate of that is the practice of ballet in human: a "good-toe" means instep of your foot to be aligned with your shin. Then one easily can dance on her toes.

• Mammals in attack stand on their toes to exert more force. That gives the idea that next points of strength are in hands and arms, but not in the way that human can remember in swinging from the trees, and not the way that boxers and similar athletes use their hands but in the shoulders as when one tries to slap; perpendicular to your chest moving from farthest back to front without bending or rotating your waist. After this stage, one is stronger when he pushes more strongly upward when he is lying on his back. At the end power of swinging on one's hands counts.
• Next in the scale is the power of the back at the waist. This is measured based on how far one can bend backward and without losing the balance can return to standing position This practice is safer and healthier and more useful than bending down: Stand with your back to a wall and keep some reasonable distance with the wall, depending on your fitness and age then raise your arms and touch the wall with the palms of your hands. Gradually increase that distance during days, weeks or months. You will never suffer a back-pain.
• Then you should make your neck strong. It is not necessary to do any direct exercise to that end. It is sufficient to make your triceps powerful. If you exercise for that your neck becomes strong and fit. You can practice to have "good neck" similar to "good toes " of ballerinas. It means always work and walk with your chin down and the back of your neck straight instead of bending your neck towards back and your eyes towards sky. It is in compliance with human evolution as an standing specie. Evolution has tendency to keep your sight ahead instead of looking up (please refer to the Messiah's Calendar for further -please click- reason).
