Why it is logical & healthy for the average person to
train their joints in their fullest range of motion instead of their muscles.
1.
Joints are the things that need to be able to
move well in order to keep movement independence.
2.
The only way joints receive/send information to
and from the brain is through movement in all planes of motion. Information is critical for them to function
well.
3.
The only way joints receive nutrients to repair
themselves is through movement.
4.
Traditional gym exercises tend to be linear or
focus on specific muscles in 2 directions at a time (up/down, right/left, front/back). This not how we move in everyday life.
5.
Muscles produce different actions depending on
the orientation of your body in space and their orientation to neighboring
joints. For example, lifting your arm
above your head while laying on your back is a lot different than lifting your
arm over your head while standing.
6.
The joints are where movement occurs first.
7.
A natural result of aging is the loss of ability
to produce force (strength). This will
occur at the end ranges of any given movement first. Training the joint ensures that you’re
training full ROM.
