This is part two of an eight part series titled "8 Principles of the Defined Fitness Training Philosophy". Over the next eight weeks we will be writing a short post about each part of the training philosophy we use here are DF and make part of each workout.
Number Two: Train Upright
Most people spend most of their day sitting, whether it be behind a desk or on the couch, we all sit too much. So why would we want to sit while we exercise? All this sitting is leading to poor posture and muscular imbalances. This is why we don't believe in using weight machines to exercise, because they end up reinforcing the bad posture. Also, when you train upright you allow your body to move the way it was designed to move, not the way a machine wants you to move.
By training upright on two feet you also get more muscles involved in the exercise to stabilize your body while it moves, resulting in better balance and a higher metabolic demand. After all daily physical activities take place on two feet, not sitting down.
