​WHAT THE PAPERS SAY


The Sunday Business Post

"A lot of people come and go in the fitness industry, because it's relatively new. But someone who is more enthusiastic than he was over 30 years ago, is David Hegarty. That's just one of the reasons I admire him.

He's a purist, as well as being one of the longest established. He knows what it's all about, and conducts his business with integrity. David Hegarty is what the fitness industry is all about."

The Sunday Independent 

"The secret of good health is much simpler than you think… Hegarty’s no-nonsense approach is a breath of fresh air…. no mystery to good health… people tell him they never thought it could be so simple… no gimmicks… plain-speaking advice… anyone who follows will see a difference... guaranteed."

The Daily Star
"At long last, a book full of sense... begins with the easiest of exercises - standing straight. David takes a very different approach. The diagrams he uses are great for explaining. These are matters that will interest people who work indoors and are subject to heaters and air conditioners. For the benfit of those who have never exercised, he begins slowly. Hegarty tackles the issue of diet... adds practical advice... so easy, it doesn't even feel like a chore."

Liam Griffin Wexford hotelier, renowned as an inspirational speaker, and for his no-nonsense approach, and support for genuine effort in any useful endeavour, managed the Wexford Senior Hurling team to All Ireland victory in 1996…..

‘David Hegarty shows his knowledge and experience in his excellent book Dynamic Health. Here he concentrates from start to finish on all the key foundations to any fitness regime, Posture, Breathing, Relaxation and Diet.

This book is full of common sense In the end that’s what fitness is all about.’            Liam Griffin  

The Sunday World
​

"This is a less painful method of getting fit and improving your physical and mental health - reduce stress, improve concentration and bestow a sense of well being... no hard exercise, no loud music, no impossible diets - you can turn your body into a trim fit unit... can even be practised in your car, in the office or on the bus..."

The Dynamic Health Principle, for high energy, less stress and a happier life.
 
The system is time efficient, convenient, versatile and effective.
 
The Dynamic Health Principle was created and developed in 1973, by David Hegarty, who saw the need for a system that people could practise as they learned.

Using ancient and modern techniques, he combined the principles to suit modern day life,
Dynamic Health has emerged as a proven and effective way to improve fitness, increase energy, and help keep stress levels in the area where they can be harnessed.

After more than 25 years of practical research and development, Hegarty committed the fundamentals to his book, Dynamic Health, now in its third printing.

This unique book is about the education of the mental and physical faculties, in the development of personal resources.

It is the way to bring into life the qualities, resources and abilities with which we are endowed.
 
Below are some random passages from ‘Dynamic Health’. If they strike a chord, this may just be the book for you.

On the difference between stress and distress:
 
"Stress is a physical reaction. It is not exaggerating to say that it tears people apart, mentally and emotionally.

Most of the illnesses prevalent today are directly related to our lifestyle. The speed, the tension, the ever-present imperative, the relentless immediacy of living today are taking their toll on our health. We have not yet adapted to the simmering urgency of today’s society, where the need to be ready for all eventualities keeps us in a constant state of tension.

Some tension is fine. You need enough to get you out of bed, perform well enough in work and keep yourself focused on your goals. This could be seen as positive stress. It’s the other one that gets to you – that becomes distress.

So what can be done? A lot. Stress is a symptom. It is a reaction maybe to fear, anxiety, resentment, worry, guilt – --------- negative emotions which can have such an effect on you are brought about by any number of circumstances. Some of these circumstances you can change or avoid or overcome; others you can’t. So if you can’t change the circumstance, try the alternative: alter your reaction to it."
 
On the value of practising the techniques:
 
"Remember, we practise worry, fear and anxiety and panic all the time. Not consciously; rather we let them into our minds and hearts and allow them to rampage all over our days.

Stress management is a reversal of that unconscious acceptance; it is deciding consciously to use the intelligence you’ve got to reverse the role your mind may have tricked you into playing.

 And practice is vital. No practice – no skill.

If you wanted to play the piano, you’d expect to learn and practise scales, finding where the notes are, what they sound like, how they can vary in tone and meaning whether you pound them or stroke them. ............................ if you do practise these methods, learn them, use them, bring them into your life, your rewards will be far greater than the trouble you’ll have taken to learn them.
You will be amazed at the music you will bring to your own life and the lives of those around you."

"Whether you want to lose weight, improve your nerves, develop powerful concentration, increase your fitness, make yourself lean and muscular, trim flab off tummy, hips, thighs, develop strength, speed, power, improve your game of golf, soccer, rugby, draughts or your performance in business, make yourself more attractive, to others and to yourself – write it down.

See it and then write it down.
Articulate it so that there is no doubt in your mind or your heart about it.
 You’re not concerned about anyone’s approval or opinion at this stage. This is a decision about something in your life that is no one else’s business.
That’s your first step; knowing where you’re going. Once you have done this, you have something to aim for, a goal. If you don’t have a goal, an aim which you will take the necessary steps to get to, you’ve just got a wish."
 
On Posture and Self Development:
 
"The first stage is laying the foundation:
 
This is the development of the basic necessities that make the rest possible. All the skills and abilities you develop in the future will depend for their effectiveness on the knowing, the understanding and the practice of these rudiments.
 
Read that again. Absorb it. You are going to learn skills and you will become so familiar with the rudiments of these skills that you won’t need to think about them.
The things you’re going to do are very simple. In fact you’ve been doing them all your life so far. All you’ll need to do now is get better at them, think about how you’ve been doing them and how you’ll need to do them to get them working for you.

To learn to use your posture is simple.

Remember the three factors involved in reaching your goals:

On the value of Breathwork:
 
"But wait a minute! Why do people exercise? Why do doctors recommend activity, a jog or a walk or workout in the gym? ........................................... But exercise does something more basic and profound than these things: it makes you pant, breathe more deeply and quickly so that your body becomes drenched in oxygen from the air you breathe.

This is your main physiological benefit – improved breathing.

And that’s why your doctor wants you to be active. He wants your lungs to work at their optimum capacity. Then, and only then, can the cells of every part of your body benefit. The air you breathe goes into your lungs........................................................................................................................
 
we need a lot of oxygen to keep our bodies from becoming congested. This is why exercise is so good for you. When you train, you pant and puff and flood your body with oxygen, cleanse the system and flush out a lot of waste. This process affects every part of our bodies: the muscles, organs, nervous system, brain cells, bones and even the skin."

On Feeling Better:
 
"By doing the following breathing exercises, you’ll learn how to get the main benefit of exercise, without sweat, inconvenience or expenditure of time. Nice thought, isn’t it?

After a short while, as your technique improves, and with it your fitness and health, the benefits tend to accumulate at a rate which most people quite simply find amazing.
 You may wonder what the secret is.

Wonder on. There is no secret.
 
If you do the simple things, do them well and often, the results will take care of themselves."
 
On Exercise and Exercising:
 
"Your individual workout, especially at the start, may be of a lesser fitness value in itself but if you practise it regularly the cumulative effect will be far superior and will be with you always, enhancing your daily living long after the cult follower has dropped off and lost his few hard-gained benefits....there is much, much more in this book to help the trainer help himself....
