A few of the hundreds of articles that Dr. Batchelor has written for several fitness magazines are seen below:

A GOOD BEATING
By Dr Daniel C. Batchelor

I don’t know about you but I need a good beating at least once per day. A good beating keeps me feeling in tip top shape. If it weren’t for my beatings, I would feel stagnant and less than whole. I get a good beating by pushing my body moderate to hard. When my heart beats 60%-80% of its max. heart rate is when I feel my best. That means that according to my age and fitness level, my training heart rate should beat 106-142 times per minute. Long after that beating, I continue to feel the benefits of increased circulation, increased energy and that not so fresh feeling is a a thing of the past. I get my beatings everyday either at noon or after work. These beatings have become a part of me and if I don’t receive them, I feel less than I could be. A good beating is recommended by the surgeon general.
I get a good beating while riding a bike, swimming in a pool, and/or running. The only great beating that I get, however, is when I run. Everyone needs a good beating. Some need it more than others. Computer programmers, secretarys, CPA’s, fitness magzine publishers, and even Doctors of Chiropractic need these beatings.
Even my German Shephard and his unrelated Shoberwieller(shephard, doberman, rottweiller) brother needs a good beating. If they don’t get a good heart beating at least once per day, I can see the tenseness in their faces and sense it in their mood. After a good beating, their faces are relaxed, they are happier and they sleep like logs. The same with humans.
Many people live a life never appreciating what a good beating can do. I know several people that do not appreciate a good beating either because they tried it once or twice but disliked it because it made them tired and sore afterwards. They did not realize that frequent gentle beatings were necessary in the beginning before anyone can reap the benefits of a really good hard beating.
What do these beatings actually do physiologically and why do we like these beatings so? Beatings increase the number of capillaries that supply your muscles. A good beating produces endorphins that dull pain, combat mental and physical stress, and allow you to receive that “runners high” occasionally. Several good beatings over a period of time improves your ability to take in oxygen and with more oxygen present, you will not be forced to produce lactic acid which inhibitis muscular contraction.
Several long beatings at moderate effort trains your body to burn fat instead of carbos. This is good because the fewer carbos you burn, the less lactic acid you produce. When the heart beats strong and hard, like any other muscle of the body, it becomes stronger and more efficient. More blood volume is pumped per stoke and you don’t have to strain yourself any longer performing tasks that would otherwise wear you out. If you are similar to me, you can tell when its time for a good beating. When I have been motionless while sitting in front of a computer or sitting on an airplane or sitting in a meeting or taking a long road trip, I feel the need for a really good beating.
Have you had your beating today?

MAKING FRIENDS WITH PAIN
By Dr Daniel C. Batchelor

My father is 85 years old and he travels the country competing in softball tournaments designed for those over 65 of age. Last year his team won the world championship that involved hundreds of leagues from the entire planet. Over the past 63 years my father has had every softball injury imaginable including shoulder pain, neck pain, lower back pain, knee pain, foot pain, etc etc. During the game, however, all of his pain mysteriously vanishes. His mind becomes so enthralled with the game that he feels as though his body has been replaced with a younger newer version that functions with efficiency and precision. After the game, however, on the way home, all of his pain once again returns and he must modiy his range of motion to prevent the discomfort.
Last year during a softball tournament in Fort Meyers Florida my father was running from first base to second base at a high rate of speed. As he slid into second base, the second basement and he collided and my father was knocked unconscious. After 3 minutes of lying on the ground and appearing dead, my father woke from the state of unconsciousness. Without hesitation, he stoodup while maintaining his keen interest in the present game and immediatley prepared for his next run to third base. A cheer from the crowd gave his teammates goosebumps.
What type of commercial pain killer does my father use during the game of softall. The answer is none. The mind provides us many powerful natural painkillers. Endorphins are naturally produced opiates known as “endogenous opoid peptides”. They are produced by the pituatary gland and act similiar to morphine dulling our central nervous systems response to pain.
What about the mental aspect of pain, not just physical pain from injury but the pain of exertion. What can we do to become friends with the pain of the effort associated with a hard 10 mile run.
One world class Triathlete female was asked what techniques she used during her hard training days to deal with the pain of effort, “I think of sex and Haagan Daaz ice cream”, was her response.
Once you realize that the pain of effort is not going to kill you, the urge to slow down or stop becomes less urgent. Becoming familiar with pain will cause a gradual acclimatization with it.
On a hot day in Atlanta during a hot hilly long hard workout, I let my mind take a trip to a cool place in the mountains. I let my body run on autopilot while my mind goes somewhere else.
Another technique is to let your mind and body relax during a long hard run. I try to gently concentrate on form and efficiency. Where are my arms, where are my feet, how can I achieve maximum alignment and efficiency by altering their positions so slightly. If you do not practice dealing with pain while training then do not expect to learn to deal with pain when the next race comes to town.
