<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>When it comes to all things movement, exercise, training, or racing, I strongly believe your number one priority is building your foundation of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">improved ‘oxygen uptake’</span>.</em></span></h5>
<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>Understanding and controlling your ideal ‘dose’ of exercise is critical in improving your<img class="alignright wp-image-3600" src="http://www.bprcchealth.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Oxygen-front.svg-300x300.png" alt="Oxygen-front.svg" width="210" height="210" /> oxygen and fat burning metabolism.</em></span></h5>
<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>I believe improving your fat burning capacity holds the key to your continued good health.</em></span></h5>
<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>Whether you'd like to drop significant weight, you're middle aged and simply wish to remain healthy and free of unnecessary illness, or your goal is win the next Hawaiian Ironman triathlon, the formula in maximising your best fat burning capacity is the same.</em></span></h5>

<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>The effects of repeated and certainly sustained lifestyle stress can undoubtedly influence your continued good health.</em></span></h5>
<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>If your innate ‘fight or flight’ stress response is poorly balanced <img class="alignright wp-image-3601" src="http://www.bprcchealth.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/vhvhv-300x225.jpg" alt="vhvhv" width="227" height="170" />with inadequate rest, inappropriate exercise, and ‘poor’ food choices, statistics clearly indicates possible looming and largely unnecessary ill-health.  Namely; uncharacteristic behaviour like increasing intolerance, depression, and sleeping difficulties.</em></span></h5>
<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>While sedative medication, alcohol, smoking, and ‘feel good’ faux foods can offer temporary relief, these choices are largely unsustainable and will likely lead to further ‘mental &amp; emotional ill-health.</em></span></h5>
<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>Exercising regularly at ‘your’ appropriate intensity has been well proven to balance brain bio-chemistry.  This means exercising appropriately lowers your perception of lifestyle stress.  This is good!</em></span></h5>

<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>Courtesy of increasing unbalanced lifestyle stress along with increasing exposure to media distorted promotion of the 'industrial diet', it's now reported 73% of Australian’s are now living with elevated and potentially dangerous blood sugar.  This is not only increasing Australian ill-health, but having a major ill-effect on our health system.  </em></span></h5>
<h5><em><span style="color: #008080;">Both lifestyle stress and modified foods (usually a concoction of masking food additives married with refined sugar and 'bad' fats) (oh, and  <img class="alignright wp-image-3598" src="http://www.bprcchealth.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2000px-Glucose_metabolism.svg-300x233.png" alt="2000px-Glucose_metabolism.svg" width="251" height="195" />excessive alcohol) are all known to abnormally spike blood sugar.</span></em></h5>
<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>What’s known as the 'metabolic illness age' has largely evolved courtesy of unbalanced pancreatic stress.</em></span></h5>
<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>Exercising in ‘your’ ideal intensity zone has been well proven to balance pancreatic stress in association with 'unnatural' increases in insulin - again - courtesy of poor food choices and stress.  </em></span></h5>
<h5><em><span style="color: #008080;">All in all 'appropriate' exercise largely allows for sometimes food like a few beers &amp; 'good' wine, a pie at the footy, and a chocolate every now, while still guarding your good health.   See more in Parts 2 &amp; 3.</span></em></h5>

<h3><span style="color: #ffffff;"><em><strong>Maintaining your postural balance.</strong></em></span></h3>

</blockquote>
<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>Given our aging population, more sedentary living,  and poor food choices, statistics indicate our nation’s once strong postural (spinal) balance is slowly crumbling.</em></span></h5>
<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>Firstly, there are some muscle groups responsible for maintaining our spinal stability, while other muscles and groups are responsible for action.</em></span></h5>
<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em>I believe it is our postural stabilising muscle groups which <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3599" src="http://www.bprcchealth.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/hqdefault-1-300x225.jpg" alt="hqdefault (1)" width="300" height="225" />should be allocated 'more' regular attention (through exercise).  These most important muscle groups are often linked to functional ill-health; like, injuries, headaches, &amp; constant back and neck pain.</em></span></h5>
<h5><span style="color: #008080;"><em><strong>Bring on your short sharp postural training program;</strong> the role of postural strength exercise is to engage, meaning switch on, relax, and subtly lengthen these important muscle groups to maintain excellent spinal health.  See PART 6-7 for details.</em></span></h5>
