THE RISE OF THE SMILING MOVEMENT !
Backed by science , and developed with happy hearts , a new light weight , free movement workout delivers plenty of smiles as well as results .
WORDS : MARK DAVIS & MARIETTA MEHANNI
“… And here are our dumbbell weights . They are incredibly dangerous , especially when you consider how fragile the human body is . Lift them up and down slowly and for heaven ’ s sake keep everything else still !”
Is the above statement : 1 . Completely true 2 . A little bit true 3 . Utterly false 4 . All of the above – but it depends .
The answer of course is D !
If you ’ re lifting to absolute failure with very high loads , make sure you know what you are doing ( and why ) and ensure your technique is superb , otherwise you could hurt yourself . If you are not lifting heavy weights , not working under high local muscle fatigue and not moving in a way that the complexity of the movement is beyond you , then rest assured : your body is remarkably resilient and there is an extraordinary array of exercise variations that can be performed safely , enjoyably and with a positive effect on your health and wellbeing .
Welcome to mSwing : light weight , free movement performed in groups with a smile ! mSwing uses a single dumbbell and natural , flowing movements to provide a fun , challenging and effective workout in a group or individual exercise setting . Instructors and participants alike develop skill , strengthen muscle and mobilise their bodies in a way that makes them feel light , happy and free . The unique variety of movements in mSwing arc , sweep and flow through space and complement every other form of exercise .
The science mSwing combines fascial science , vestibular science , neural mobility , and the physics of gravity and momentum . The configuration of fascia and the contractile componentry of muscle combine to allow significant load sharing , force transfer , energy storage and elastic release . The movements in mSwing take advantage of these qualities
