Before stepping onto that treadmill for your cardio warm-up, think. What's happening to your heart as it goes from zero to sixty? Wrong. Shocking? Well as a matter of fact, it is to your heart muscle. As the big and bossy muscles start to push their weight around demanding more blood, the heart itself gets a cold start. With the rest of the body robbed of up to 90% of its blood by the large skeletal muscles, the heart is left with the measly fraction of a .125% increase. Even though it's pumping a lot more blood, heart tissue gets a mere one-tenth of one percent increase relative to the other working muscles. Physically the result may look good but adding more depth and substance, physiologically, will serve heart health better in the long run - literally.

This is one of the defining differences between fitness and 'health fitness' (a term bandied around ever since it was coined by us a decade ago as if they're one and the same). Muscle balance impacts fitness, while body pH balance impacts health - can't have one without the other. More depth and substance necessitate more blood, deeper. The physiological engineering required to accomplish this in the human organism is of sophisticated design (and not of the genetically modified persuasion). To get more out of exercise, radical measures must be taken in terms of lymphatic and vascular circulations. Body'Fit pH Fitness™ exercise, or pHx™, gets the heart working for itself - rather than giving up it's life in servitude to the bigger and bossier. 

The pHx warm-up cool down system is not the only way to accomplish this feat, however if you like fast and furious this is it. Body'Fit pHx gets it done with unprecedented sustainability in respect to time, space and comfort. Plus pHx takes care to equalize VO2max in all muscles large and small without injury or immune stress with it's comprehensive series that takes minutes to complete. Completion of the whole cycle of movements in the routine is greater than the sum of it's parts. Needless to say design like no other entails extensive explanation not within the scope of this essay; suffice it to say, it goes beyond orthodox propound. 

To give you some idea:  In order to reduce stress on the heart as it starts to speed up, the first pHx exercise is based on venous return (utilizing gravity) rather than arterial demand, otherwise cardiac workload is unnecessarily high initially. To optimize cellular oxygen absorption, body pH (chemical) balance must be normalized instead of acidified (as it typically is during exercise), otherwise oxygen is used up returning pH to normal (a physiological priority which can take hours if not days). To further improve oxygen delivery to the heart, the deep organ groups within the anatomical cavities must be oxygenated in order of greatest blood volume, otherwise tissues throughout the body compete for oxygen. Usually of course that's exactly the case because adrenaline clamps down circulation in the anatomical cavity of greatest blood volume (can you guess which one that is?) right off the bat as soon as you step onto the treadmill. What is, is, and similar doesn't cut it.

Now that you're thinking Olympic edge ... Leave the rest up to your sense of self-responsibility. Or if you still need more information, Google "pH fitness". It will warm your heart.
