Something like at least ~1500 calories {800ml oj, 150g sugar, 1 banana, 2-4 tomatoes, 3 eggs (with whites sometimes), 100g salmon, 2-4tsp of oo = Menu staples}Espirito wrote:How many calories do you intake per day?
Still working on increasing calories, at 45kg currently, same as last month.
No, I don't "practice" sports. (I probably need to increase calories first. lol)Espirito wrote:Do you pratice sports regulary?
But I like the dance exercises from Conditioning for Dance, by Eric Franklin, which uses the Alexander Technique.
Actually I like the cell anatomy theory in that book more, I don't do the physical exercises much.
The visualization of how to position the body with less tension with an anatomically correct perspective is much more beneficial.
Doing the visualization exercises puts less stress on the way you breathe, walk, position yourself...etc.
i.e. (from the book) imagining bones as marshmallows, and ribs that float, or air-balloons for front lungs and sandbag for back lungs to not slouch, a rainstorm from the last ribs like a waterfall down the spine to sit straight.
Basically if you don't put yourself in any tension constantly, your body will not ache. Similar to the message here, which is don't put any garbage food into yourself.
I am on the position that sports is fun, but if playing it to exhaustion stresses body or if it puts a repetitive straining motion that constantly reinforces a bad muscle grouping that would cause injury, than I am better off not playing it to exhaustion.
An example was piano. It was not a true sport, but my hands got a fair share of strain and exercise.
I last played piano 6 years ago, but it was only in 2008, when I got a new teacher that gave me only 2 sheets of music to practice on.
I realized that practicing did not need to be for hours, and not for volume, that the most efficient way to train the fingers for the piano was by blind mathematical combinations and permutations with a disregard to sound* that is why it can fit into 2 sheets and not like the volumes of pages that I used to practice, like the thick volume of Hanon's Virtuoso Pianist. {The Hanon's Virtuoso Pianist was a yellow paper back, much like the copy I dreamed a week ago, but it was not called the Authoratative References; but hey use your brain, use your maths, don't listen to piano teachers that throw exercises at you, or listen to "proof by reference to eminent authority", you have to actually digest and understand the maths behind why something works efficiently, and not just "believe the experts" that you trust.} (Haha that solves the yellow book, but what does the blue grey couch mean? I don't have a couch upstairs in reality.)
*Sound comes second after you have freed your brain to move fingers and hands at will. And using mathematical combinations and permutations, you can cover most of the sound variations that you need to play or hear.
Hence, I will play sports. But just really "play" it, like to be in the moment and enjoy the game, but not to train for a sport, I don't care if I am not the best athlete or if I miss a goal a dozen times. Sports to me should just be fun. Hence I don't "practice" for sports.
