Dupa operatia de diastazis din 2012, au fost luni de zile cand nu mi-am putut folosi complet muschii abdominali. In prima saptamana de dupa interventie, ma trezeam dimineata cu dorinta arzatoare de a ma…intinde. O astfel de actiune insa ar fi pus in pericol cusaturile inca proaspate. Asa ca ma abtineam. Corpul meu intra atunci intr-un fel de spasme. Incepeam sa tremur la propriu, atat de greu ii era organismului meu sa nu poata sa faca ceva atat de firesc, de natural si de instinctiv: sa se intinda dimineata, dupa ce toata noaptea incercasem sa dorm cat mai nemiscata, ca sa nu se desprinda pungile de drenaj.
Ulterior, miscari simple, pe care pana atunci nici nu le constientizam, cum ar fi datul cu aspiratorul sau apasatul pedalei de ambreiaj, erau o provocare. Nu mai spun de exercitiile fizice. Cred ca abia dupa vreun an si jumatate de la operatie a disparut complet orice disconfort al muschilor abdominali.
Atunci cand dintr-o data nu mai poti face ceva ce anterior era usor sa faci, ajungi sa apreciezi foarte tare cand, in sfarsit, dupa multa vreme nu mai ai dureri si recapeti posibilitatea de a te misca firesc. Articolul de mai jos, preluat de pe un site pe care eu il citesc de multa vreme si la care revin constant, vorbeste despre motivatia de a face sport, un subiect pe care eu il tot aud. Oamenii nu gasesc motivatie sa se apuce ori sa continue sa faca constant miscare fizica. Tindem sa complicam totul atat de mult! Desi nu vei citi despre asta in articolul tradus mai jos, cred ca lucrurile sunt muuuuult mai simple!
Asadar, ce spui de aceasta motivatie? Misca-te pentru ca poti! Nu stiai? Sa te misti fara dureri chiar poate fi un privilegiu! Nu poti decat sa mergi pe jos? E in regula, mersul pe jos e tot exercitiu fizic; cel mai firesc si cel mai important tip de miscare, de fapt!
Deci, care e motivatia ta de a (nu) te misca?
Am cunoscut candva un bărbat care facea sport în fiecare zi. Rutina lui zilnica de miscare fizica era câteodată de trei ore si niciodată nu “pierdea” o zi. L-am întrebat odata pentru ce se antrena, de ce isi doreste sa fie mereu într-o formă atât de bună. El a răspuns: “Vreau sa fiu în formă toata viață.” Apoi l-am întrebat cum reuseste să facă asta, cum poate să facă față unui antrenament atat de dur zi de zi, fără pauza. El a spus pur și simplu: “Îmi place să fac asta. Aștept cu nerăbdare antrenamentul meu de zi cu zi. “
Asta suna logic, dar încă aveam impresia că acest barbat avea niște puteri neobișnuite de auto-disciplină și auto-motivatie. Nu mulți oameni din lume ar putea face ceea ce făcea. Acest om nu parea să aibă aceeași problemă de motivație pe care majoritatea dintre noi o au.
Motivatia este într-adevăr o problemă serioasă pentru toți, cu excepția câtorva “selectați”. Dar cum depășim această problemă? Cum putem deveni mai coerenti cu programul de miscare fizica, zilnic? Există un program ideal de exerciții, care ne va ajuta să facem acest lucru?
În ultimii patru ani, am realizat un studiu privind exercițiile fizice. Am vrut să aflu de ce este atât de greu ca oamenii să se motiveze sa faca sport. Studiul a aratat ca toti cei intervievati erau de acord cu faptul ca sportul este important, dar e greu…de facut. Rareori am găsit pe cineva care era mulțumit de gradul său de consecvență. Am auzit multe scuze. Acestea au variat de la program supra-aglomerat, probleme personale, până la boli fizice, stres mental sau pur si simplu, lene. Dar, în realitate, toate acestea nu sunt decât o problemă de motivatie, deghizata in altceva.
Rădăcina lipsei de motivatie este în mintea noastra. Suntem în esență creaturi leneșe, predispuse să facă doar ceea ce este convenabil și plăcut. Pur și simplu avem nevoie de motive distractive pentru a face lucruri. Cheia in a face sport este de a găsi o modalitate de a realiza antrenamentul cât mai convenabil și mai plăcut posibil si adaptat fiecarei persoane.

After the diastasis surgery in 2012, there were months when I couldn’t fully use my abdominal muscles. During the first week after surgery, I would wake up in the morning with a burning desire to … stretch. But such an action would have endangered the fresh seams. So I refrained. But my body would go into some kind of spasm. I was beginning to tremble, so difficult it was for my body to not be able to do something so natural and instinctive: to stretch in the morning, after a whole night of me trying to sleep as immobile as I could, not to detach the drainage bags.
Later, simple movements, which until then I wasn’t even aware of, such as using the vacuum cleaner or using the clutch pedal, were a challenge. Let alone doing proper exercising!
I think after more than one year and a half after the operation, all discomfort of the abdominal muscles completely disappeared. When all of a sudden you can no longer do something that was previously easy to do, you get to appreciate it very much when after a long time, you no longer have pain and regain the opportunity to move naturally. The article below, taken from a site that I have been reading for a long time and which I return constantly to, talks about the motivation to do sports, a topic that I keep hearing. People do not find motivation to start or continue to constantly make physical movement. We tend to complicate things so much! Although in the article translated below you wont’t find this idea, I believe things are soooooo much simple!
So, what about this motivation? Move because you can! Don’t you know? Moving without pain can even be a privilege! You only can walk? It’s okay, walking is still physical exercise; the most natural and most important type of movement, in fact!
So, what’s your motivation for (not) moving?
I once knew a man who exercised every day. His routines were sometimes as long as three hours, yet he never missed a day. I asked him one time what he was training for, why he stayed in such good shape. He merely replied: “I’m staying in shape for life.” I then asked him how he was able to do it, how he managed to face such a grueling workout day after day without a miss. He said simply: “I enjoy doing it. I look forward to my workout everyday.”
This sounded logical, but I still went away with the impression that he had some unusual powers of self-discipline and self-motivation. Not many people in the world could do what he did. He just didn’t seem to have the same motivation problem that most of us have.
Motivation is indeed a serious problem for all but a select few. But how do we overcome this motivation problem? How do we become more consistent with our daily exercise programs? Is there an ideal exercise program that will help us do this?
For the past four years, I conducted a study on Exercise. I wanted to find out why it is so hard for people to motivate themselves to exercise. I talked to many people—some who were jocks and some who weren’t. All, I found, agreed on the same thing: Exercise is important but hard to do. Rarely did I find anyone who was satisfied with his degree of consistency. I heard many excuses and alibis. They ranged from overcrowded schedules and personal problems to physical ailments, mental stress and plain laziness. However, in reality, all these were nothing more than the motivation problem in disguise.
The root of the motivation problem is in the head. Exercise Reform is a head trip—mind over matter. We are basically lazy creatures, prone to do only what is convenient and enjoyable. We just naturally need fun reasons to do things. The key, then, to Exercise Reform, is to find some way to make the workout as convenient and enjoyable as possible. An exercise program has to be designed to accomplish this. It has to be tailored to the average person with a busy schedule, to the person who doesn’t play sports, who is faced with the task of working out on his own, often without the support of a workout partner.
