Well, it's said that humans and their bodies adapt very quickly to their environment.That's true. You can see that humans have went to the extreme of adapting desert lifestyle.
My point for today is not totally about adpataions but it's partilly about adaptation. I am not really good in sports nor in exercises but I decided to take some basic exercises to strengthen my body and improve my not so good health.
I notice that when I did a number of push ups ( not single digits...I am not so weak to do single digits) , there is obviously some difficulties. I haven't been exercising for some times to be honest. Being weighted dowm by work and exams.
After the first not so successful round of push ups, I decided to look for some techniques. While I was sitting down, I thought of a theory, since humans and their body adapts very quickly, then why not do a second round of push up. I went down another round and added three more . To my surprise , the motion went more smoothly. I am not sure if I am right but I felt lesser resistance. I thought of exploiting this adaptation to create a set of exercises .
My theory goes that you go and do a set of exercise. Not too many till you fall. Just nice amount. Then rest and walk around and do other things . Drink some water. After 10 to 15 minutes, go down again and do the push ups. Try to add around 2 to 3 more push ups to your set. So slowly , you increase your number of push ups in one day quite quickly.
Do around two to four times of this theortical routine or unless until you think you need a rest or a stop.
Do not do some much till you feel uncomfortable or get injuried.
This is only an expeimental theory . I wouldn't be responsible if anything go wrong. Carry this experiment at your own risk.
