Exercise is life accelerated

Thermodynamicists tell us that the flow of energy in our environment is moving towards disorder, and that energetic life counteracts this by organizing matter. Physical exercise, by accelerating the rate of energy transfer, is a formidable bioenergetic gas pedal. Over the millennia, our cells, tissues and organs have evolved in a cooperative mode to ensure the survival of the organism. The regular activation of muscle mass was a necessity for our ancestors, and has probably remained inscribed in our genetic code. Regular exercise, therefore, is not a supplement to biological life - it's part of it. To ignore the cooperative role of muscle activity with other organs is to bring to a standstill an essential cog in the body's functioning, resulting in deterioration such as diabetes and atherosclerosis, which jeopardizes the survival of the entire organism. Facilitating access to self-determination when it comes to integrating physical activity into today's life in a safe and effective way is one of the missions of the physical activity specialist, the kinesiologist.
