wounded in the contest, but he would be in agony if he were not even
admitted to the stadium."

The Holistic Necessity of Health Education and Medical Exercise
On Gymflesh Corporation's Acclaimed MEST® Techniques*
and Gymflesh®
Gymnasiotherapy™
for
Progressive,
Sustainable, and Comprehensive Lifestyle Change

Even though we all aspire to have optimal health, life is certain to
suffer us all with mental, physical, and heart-felt traumas. We do not
welcome these life-altering changes, but they happen, nonetheless, to
all people. Health and illness knows no bias, no prejudice. Yet everyone
has the inner choice to determine whether health increases or illness
intensifies. Physical, mental, and social health are relative to free
will.
The fitness and exercise industry is unregulated. How does one seek out
the best practical ways to better health in the face of an abundance of
opinions? The economics of healthcare distresses everyone.
Advertisements incessantly seduce us to breathtaking images of rare,
surgically or cosmetically enhanced, photographically altered,
pseudo-perfected physiques. Medical interventions often fail to
diagnose, treat, and heal the whole person. Fitness and exercise
industries repeatedly endorse an overkill of costly, high-risk and
low-efficient products, supplements and accessories. Dietary guidelines
and food-plans change with each season and with every possible financial
motive.
The average person feels marginalized: on the one hand, the media
bombards society with appealing images and surreal photos that distress
many people; on the other, no one tends to offer simple and honest, safe
and effective, natural and organic workouts fitting the general
population with reliable, consistent, logical results. Many claims are
hyped; few promises are satisfied. With health and exercise
disinformation overload, personal indecisiveness is probable.
Gymflesh®
is based on common sense. Not of its own, but that of its members.
Ultimately, people prefer to know true facts, not sugar-coated
guarantees. Unlike the get-fit-fast-schemes touted on TV and in
magazines, Gymflesh®
is unpretentious and straightforward. No lies. When it comes to one’s
own healthcare, it is always uncomplicated to accept harsh, obvious
realities rather than comfortable, camouflaged falsehoods. Gymflesh®
gives direct answers, even though they may not be what people wish to
hear.
Gymflesh comes as a response to the
exercise-craze-vacuum millions of people fall into. Gymflesh®
is not simply about having an attractive seemingly-healthy physique.
There is so much more to the human. Gymflesh®
is about the holistic health of the entire person, from the mind,
through the flesh, to the heart. Certainly, we all want to better the
flesh's 12 miraculous interdependent systems (cardiovascular,
respiratory, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sexual, autoimmune, endocrine,
digestive, excretory, integumentary [skin, hair, nails], and the
endogenous opioid).
Through our acclaimed, preventive-health
MEST®
Techniques and our proprietary Gymnasiotherapy™ (Gk.
γυμνάσιοθεραπεία, gymnasiotherapeia)
prescriptions, Gymflesh®
teaches structural training, not just limited functional skills. When
the human structure (mind-flesh-heart) is at its optimal level of
health, then all functions follow equally, all functions are doable, all
functions are in maximal alignment with the human structure. Structure
always supersedes function; functioning is simply the end result. This
classic Ancient Greek medical philosophy and spiritual vision of
gymnasium-treatment, over 3,000 years old and retraditioned by
Gymflesh Corporation for today's world as Gymnasiotherapy™, places
Gymflesh®
far above and further ahead all other health and exercise systems and
protocols.

MEST®
EXERCISE PRESCRIPTIONS FOR PROGRESSIVE, SUSTAINABLE,
AND COMPREHENSIVE LIFESTYLE CHANGE FOR COMPLETE HEALTH
Physical exercise is holistic health of the
whole person, and nothing less. But modern exercise and fitness
practices have lost sight of an integrated approach to gymnasium that
assures the whole person is cared for. Each human is
intelligence-form-essence. The mind must be intensified and as well as
the heart. Human well-being is a three-leveled, combined concept: mind,
flesh, heart. There is no other way to full health. None.
Gymflesh®
is bold. Do not blame the gyms or fitness centers for failures. Do
not blame the equipment or diets. Do not blame doctors or personal
trainers. Do not blame seasons or genetic encoding. Own up to the
tasks at-hand. Self-accomplishment is the strength and staying power
of Gymflesh®.
Own what is available. With honor and respect, sincerity and
integrity. Gymflesh®
takes an unprecedented step toward transforming personal healthcare
by transfiguring its members to achieve optimal results of
mind-flesh-heart with ease, safety, satisfaction, and play. Mentored
by Gymflesh®,
self-accountability reveals the
horizon of all possibilities.
Health is life's ultimate pleasure. After all, life is meant to be a
journey of wondrous excitement, even in the face of sadness, debility
and aging. This is the godlike marking of the human spirit: to take on
the impossible under the most harmful circumstances and still claim
victory in life, never to be condemned as victimized prey. Blame has no
place in Gymflesh®.
But praise does ― for the successes people create of their own doing. Of
their own being. This is the wonder of doing and being Gymflesh®.
How does one exercise properly and safely and gain the remarkable
results sought after? This seems like a simple question, but it's
not easily answered. Responses are as diverse as is each individual.
Obviously each person takes on health and exercise differently, at
individual paces, for personal reasons. Not a surprise. What comes
as a pleasant awakening is the truth that the basics for proper form
and control for all exercises involving the common human
neuromusculoskeletal system are simple, uncomplicated, pain-free,
and low-risk. What differentiates each person's ability to do health
and exercise is learning how to apply the basics (both proactive and
preventive) to one's own physique, health needs, and physiological
abilities.
Gymflesh®
provides the skills and tools for idiosyncratic health progress.
Exercises and health interventions are never generic (as advertised
throughout magazines, videos, DVDs, TV, and the like). And nothing is
ever gained easily and quickly. What is often lacking is clear
instruction on how to adapt and re-create health and exercise methods to
each person's own unique mental, physical, and spiritual qualities and
assure "I-can-do-it-and-see-it-and-feel-it" results.
Gymflesh®
respects the intelligence of its participants and knows that their own
abilities vary. Mostly, Gymflesh®
insists over and over on using exercises with "low-risks yielding
high-benefits" — its motto protecting vulnerable flesh zones and
preventing injury. Pain-free exercises guarantee trauma-free flesh.
Pleasure-producing exercises set the participants on a lifelong
continuum of optimal health.
Gymflesh®
alone offers authentic, holistic medical perspectives to
mind-flesh-heart health and exercise education that is absent (to
disgraceful levels) throughout other faux-professional venues, e.g.
high-or-low-end, unschooled, non-degreed personal trainers and their
pay-for-paper, unregulated certifying agencies — flesh-oriented gurus
and flavor-of-the-month masters — social, fashion, and unbridled-ego
fitness clubs — hardcore, meathead gyms (where the word natural is code
for steroid use) — sub-generic quasi-workout websites overloaded with
ads, hidden spyware, phishing programs, and advertisement robots —
money-hungry diet planners and weight-loss scammers — no-holds-barred
vitamin, supplement, and snake oil hucksters — profit-leeching
multimedia gadget and gimmick shams — and the list goes on ad infinitum.
Anathema to them all for having the audacity to reduce health and
exercise education to mere segmented and partial flesh-work, and to deny
intellectual and heart-centered healthcare. Pathetic, they all are; even
more so are their subscribers. No apology for their actions. Only
sadness.
Gymflesh®
is a living conduit of mind-flesh-heart healthcare. For the whole person
as a continuum, in all ways, and for always. Be alive, safely,
efficiently, wholeheartedly.
Do Gymflesh®.
Be Gymflesh®.
The Gymflesh®
gymnasium is for you, none else.
Now go. Play. Laugh. Love.
