Movement M1

Notice my feet are separated subshoulder width, my left arm hangs unstresssed, my right foot is stable at the ball as the heel bobs up and down in sync with staff rotations...so I am being light on my heels. Observe that my right hand grips with closed fist and is farely still as the apex of a cone swept out by the rotating staff length. Ideally the staff end most distant from my body would rotate in a circle. My body rocks due to conservation of angular momentum and as I am bearing weight on the balls of feet, my ankles sway gently "as long as I am light on my heels!" If the bones in my heels resist lateral motion by bearing weight I would damage my ankles. WARNING: the creators cannot accept any responsibility for any user failing to heed this warning. On the otherhand, after 25 years or so, I am fine. As a mathematician, I am sensitive to minimizing joint torques not part of commonly occurring co-adaptive geometry. Success in being conscious of one's heel also leads to an awareness of the pumping action beneath the arches of one's feet. Such secondary and controllable phenomena constitutes a micro message in a podiatary sense. These shallow actions about the perimeter of each sole allows a reflective mind to duty cycle which toes and portions of the perimeter absorbs the torques steaming down each leg in response to inertial action no matter how one tries to resist movement. I emphasize that resisting the motion induced by rotating the staff is the attempt which cannot succeed; to the extent strong cells can resist motion reactive weak cells take up the stress in aggregate resistive efforts. By the "weakest link theory", the weak cells build relative strength until uniform muscle toning is attained. As a theoretical mathematician, I can have theories. Its cool when they work, literally.
Movement M2

Here I am stessing parallel to the staff as if to collapse it, which of course I cannot. The muscles beneath the bones of my arm are taut, as are my lats. I am rotating my center in a small diameter circular motion while maintaining tension as if to collapse the staff. Notice the angle,say ESH, formed by the elbow-shoulder-hip opens and closes with each rotation no matter how much I attempt to keep angle ESH from changing because the muscle cell population which forces my center to rotate is so much larger than the muscle cell sets attempting to resist the motion at angle ESH. My effort naturally adjusts to my current strength and condition. Because of this population imbalance, I don't sweat as in go aerobic. I usually do my rogersstaff regimen fully clothed and still don't go aerobic in a mild setting. My knees after being conditioned by the first movement, are exposed to more dynamic action as my center rotates rather than rocks as it predominantly does in the first movement. The bones of my torso react holistically to my center's rotations, as manifested by the flux in reflections along musculature cut lines. Such flux in light and shadows indicates flexing in small regions of skin and their sub-surface muscles, with particular variations along grooves, such as the deltopectral groove. I find interesting the external obliques and obliquus abdominis down the sides of my rib cage towards my upper pelvis: observe the verticle shadow merging with the bottom of the rib cage below the pectoralis major. The muscles near my sternum are taut and defined. My rectus abdominis muscles are reasonably flat, conditioned and toned, as one observes. Look at the thighs work as joints smooth and condition naturally. Notice the chest plates on my left side.

As a comanche, we have neither been disarmed nor conquered in folklore. My thinking here is not of combat, it is of pre-martial accelerations. I am a theoretical mathematician interested in geometric topology. My PhD is from the University of California at Berkeley, Calif, 1977. I developed RogersStaff exercises over 25 years, after spending 3 years at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory as a senior trajectory engineer for 9 spacecraft while on the Pioneer Navigation team: basically baby sitting software for Pioneer 6,7,8,9,10,11,12 and Helios 1 and 2. After 9 years of studying minimal stress geometry and duty cycles for strengthening my muscles without sweating or "going aerobic", I met Philip Giebel who filmed the 1989 documentation. Focusing on cystolic wave motion as a principle for microdynamic action at the cellular level, I intuited roughly three classes of "muscle cells", namely active, reactive and passive classes. Reactive cells attempt to resist motion, active cells attempt to force motion and passive cells don't exhibit sustained tension during a particular movement. I am using populations of active cells which are much greater than populations of targeted reactive cells. This means that per active cell waste is reduced while the strain on the reactive cells is increased. Stronger reactive cells can resist forced motion whereas weak reactive cells are worked inversely to their strength, resulting in uniform muscle toning. Conditioning joints and cartilage is a natural result of the high number of repetitions, without impact, and emphasis on symmetry of both linear and rotational motions. Strengthening of hands and fingers occurs with elongation and contraction dynamics embedded in the various movements. Exagerated spinal curvature will naturally correct itself and discs will refurbish due to compression decompression cycles built into the movement sequencing. As joint impact is avoided, cystolic wave motion along bone length is viewed as improving bone strength and mass. Even coordination and strengthening of toes and feet muscles occurs in my processes which are designed to be unobtrusively holistic. Neck and head musculature also becomes taut. Pain due to partial pressure differentials across membranes are eliminated as membranes flex or "breathe" due to the nature of rogersstaff dynamics, as a side benefit. Anyone can do these exercises which by design stay well within the range of natural motion and reduced exertions. Effort is self adjusting based upon "your" ability and current strength. Curiously, one will yawn rather than pant and, also, other biological tendencies will be facilitated to one's sense of well being.


REMARK: In the following discussion and analysis of Roger's Staff Movements, I will attempt to use standard terminology for anatomy to allow others to integrate my rogersstaff regimen with their own interests. As time proceeds. they will be embellished holistically to consider not just musculature, but internal organs...to design exercise around an individual's illness or "constraints". I welcome participation by others who would like to become certified as instructors in "Roger's Staff" methodologies. Do what works! Do rogersstaff exercises throughout your life...just because of micro-dynamics, in reality, you can. Take care, sincerely, Dr Eugene Roger Apodaca
WARNING: The Creators of this methodology accept no responsibility for damage done to those using these methods. Being light on one's heels is one essential consideration to prevent lateral sway, due to conservation of angular momentum, from damaging one's ankles. The Creators cannot observe without high-tecing one's heel's tension or one's heel specific systematic stresses and local accelerations to prevent damage. Devils in details can be discussed and emphasized, yet the user must accept that they are at their own risk and must be responsibly careful. Resources will determine the wardrobe that rogersstaff can make available with timely feedback systems which could in theory compensate for a user deficiencies and strengths in the future. Properly done, with conscious foresight to inspect one's staff for weakness or hidden cracking, inspection can prevent injury due to uncertain breakage of the staff.

Roger M1

Roger M2



Knee Ball and Socket Dynamics Comparing the knee dynamics of movements M1 and M2, consider back and forth rocking clockwork motions compared to rotations of a pestle and mortar. In M1 the hip rocks back and forth, which dynamic motion is transmitted to the lower ball socket of each femur in its receptive joint structure where each ball rocks gently back and forth tracking the pelvic girdle movements responding to conservation of momentum laws. The motion is tracked as each femur, for example, pivots slightly about its major verticle axis. This dynamic massages the inside surfaces of the joints gently without ripping at the connections. In M2 a gentle pestle movement in its receptive mortar is simulated by the lower ball and socket of each femur as the principle pressure point rolls along a "circle" in a "horizontal plane" inside the socket housing. Thus, in M1 the lateral displacement dynamics reverse directions of velocities of cells along fictitious boundaries of torque within the knee joint during each movement. Whereas movement M2 sees stable velocities for the exact same knee cells for the entire M2 movement's count. The asymmetry of stresses on the knees occurs because of the staff's mass distribution geometry in M1 and because of the staffs geometric constaints in M2. My solution is too recognize that reversal of directions for such low stress dynamics would prevent and reverse any temporal structural distortion due to asymmetric shearing forces along the ball-socket connections. Interestingly, M1 has a small verticle decompression compression cycle for each conical rotation of the staff which is not well defined in M2. These significant geometric differences in the encounter dynamics of ambiant ball and socket joint structures observed thru comparative analysis of movements M1 and M2 emphasize corresponding differential benefits obtained from M1 and M2 when cumulative effects over time are calculated. Curiously, slight movements of balance using the feet, shifts one's center of mass which in turn shifts slightly the principle direction of thrusting into the socket walls. I allow the boundary impact points to float within each knee joint by consciously floating the regions of principle body-support in the soles of my feet. Repetitive impact has to be controlled and duty cycled to avoid damage. Basicly a vein or flow path can be compressed if the compression is followed by a decompression to create a natural constsructive cycle of motion which ends in a rejuvenation dynamic. Whence, the Basic Rule of Joints: any compression must be followed by a decompression. Notice that in movement M1 the finger joints experience an extension-decompression prior to a compression. On the other hand, the fingers experience an extension-decompression force for the entire M2 effort, which importantly follows M1 finger socket compression due to conical rotations of the staff "handle" during final implementation of M1. If I stopped exercising after doing M2 and then M1, the reversal of order leaves me with relatively nominally compressed finger joints. Whereas, implementing M1 prior M2 as in my regimen leaves me with relatively nominally extended finger joints, which facilitates partial pressure resolutions within the vicera. Laws related to commuting the order in which Rogers Staff Movements are performed must be recognized as having validity because the cumulative or integrated impact of small differential changes may not manifest quickly, they must be anticipated through mathematics. I use the principle: analogs of any model experience relatively the same force geometry. Whence, I imagine and can feel similar dynamics to that discussed for the knee when I probe my shoulder component socket connections. Essentially, each rogersstaff movement transmits characteristic dynamic action to all joints of one's body. Depending upon relative geometric relations between a particular joint and the method of a particular cycle of movement, a corresponding benefit accrues to the given joint. Other movements used have knee dynamics which rock one's femurs back and forth over one's tibias. Setting up an analog by viewing one's femur as the pestle and its mating tibia as the mortar: the handle of the pestle pivots as its ball base rolls back and forth in the cupped up portion of its mortar: so to, the lower ball of each femur rolls back and forth in the upper socket of its mated tibia. The movement M3 appears to focus at its extent (i.e. when the knee is farthest from the staff) on anterior compression_decompression cycles whereas movement M4 appears to focus at its extent on posterior compression_decompression cycles of the upper tibia sockets inside each knee. An axiom of joints relative to a pestle and mortar analog then might read: AS THE HANDLE ROCKS, THE BALL ROLLS. Curiously, one may apply this view to the encounter dynamics for any bone-socket interfacing. Let us call this The Principle of Rock and Roll for ball and socket joints or the interfacing of a bone end and its receptive well. Consider the question: what is the Rock and Roll behavior of each joint while one is actively exercising? I can visualize a particular joint and notice that by slightly changing the thrust directions in a Roger's Staff movement, I induce a corresponding change in the Rock and Roll behavior at the encounter interfacings within the corresponding joint complex. The Principle of Rock and Roll emphasizes the reduction of shearing forces...the ball is not to slide within its receptive wells, fictitious or not, it is to roll over or along each well's surface. Roger's Staff movements should be joint friendly by intent of design geometry. Allowing interfacing coordinates of maximal stress to float about within each joint's interfacing geometry reduces the risk of repetititve motion induced damage. However, rogersstaff motions are minimal movements whose components are found in natural minimal adaptive behaviorial actions performable by humans and should not be problematic if done conscienciously. In fact, pain is not required for gain. Roger's Staff prefers you feel less pain with no sweat when you implement your rogersstaff regimen. After Rock and Roll, so to speak, one should feel energized with an enhanced will for doing other things. For example, those implementing a rogersstaff regimen, find they hesitate less initiate other activity. Personally, I perform Roger's Staff movements before I go out, mainly, because I feel able to do things easily which might otherwise be cause for hesitation...it is easier to rescue people or to engage others in offset settings, as it were. Implementing a rogersstaff regimen pre-accelerates coordinated chains of cells along paths of tension variation associated with historically required survival actions. Competence in the verified ability to will action along this dynamic basis produces a natural confidence in oneself, as a direct result from the mapping out of potential directions for structured sequencial sets of repetitive minimal actions effectiveness has required of persons, such as one's Roger's Staff Regimen. In the knee dynamics of movements M5 and M6,the anterior and posterior backsuspensions. Movement M5 has a decompression compression cycle as the human femur's lower ball moves up and down in its receptive well above the upper cradle of the corresponding tibia, as does Movement M6. Observe that knee pressure focus in M5 is anterior towards the front of the knee, while knee pressure focus in M6 is posterior towards the back of the knee, above the gastrocnemius or calf muscle. Thus, depending on which side of one's knee is closest to their staff, the encounter geometry force and pressure dynamics redistribute themselves characteristically. By allowing one's center of mass to float gentlly within a a horizontal disc one inch in diameter, one can condition the sockets of the tibia as well as the balls of the femur.Throughout the period of implementation of backsuspension movements M5 and M6 one's arms apply a steady vectored verticle thrust, which reduces the compression when heels are dropped slightly and subsequently one's upper_body is set quickly down by arms which cannot hold it up though they maintain tautness. The downward tamping action of the femur on the tibia is less than if one walks at all, because of the upward lifting force vector transmitted thru rogersstaff being held by grasping hands at the end of stressing arms, whose shoulders suspend one's upper_torso ever so mementarily while the lower body catches itself by re-tensing legs before one's heels strike the ground in response to gravity. It is essential to understand that being light on one's heels for movements M5 and M6 means that the heels do not encounter the ground throughout the counting cycles for each of these movement's variations, to avoid impact shock damage at the joint level. This replaces running's periodic pulsing jets throughout the body's vessels by a steady relatively gentle pumping action...the difference is between bearing all gravity based force pressure dynamics catching the entire body on one foot after flying thru the air during a run versus using all four appendages to catch the body after momentarily releasing leg support during a rogersstaff backsuspension. The integrated or cumulative damage done running is much greater than that experienced here thru Roger's Staff, because properly implemented, the cumulative impact of these rogersstaff movements is less than that done walking, by geometric construction.

METHOD : Adept rep's & gain without pain go
hand in hand. Coordinated effort which is well
ordered becomes an easier implement. Thus,
attention to a mix of minimal movements and
assisted movements has focused quick applications
to augment personal choices and ambient pre-
conditioning. Built in self regulation reduces
any potential for injury to conscious effort
...relaxing at any time is possible, leaving
one only holding an industrial level staff.
Handling brooms, mops, shovels, hoes, rakes

general one of the safest exercise assist
there is. There is reduced effort per muscle

relative effort with relative rest states.
One naturally chooses their own individual

are the action spinoffs that localizing movement
with micro-dynamics has. Transition times from
implementation to implementation of a given
movement or between two that are geometrically
and dynamically distinct can be quickly reduced
to individual steps and partial body rotations.
Transitions between holding hands is one grasp
away. With reduced movement, comes the reduced
space our rogersstaff micro-dynamics requires
for brisk or "Rangersizes". We define a
"rangersize" to be more than two toning
movements implemented with minimal transition
times between movements. There will surely be
times when in our moments of certainty a slow
dynamic may be chosen for reasons unknown to
others yet related to personal study and internal
growth, paralleling the muscle cut and solid
toning curvatures which users will obtain from
rogersstaff regimens. No Grime results because
with a besides for the rogersstaff grasping hand,
no body contact occurs except for the feet
bearing surface of support. If one starts with
clean hands and a clean staff, one will finish
with clean hands and a clean staff, as it were.
