At one time or another, every work-out enthusiast is faced with
Superman/Wonderwoman bodybuilding syndrome. The symptoms entail
over exerting making basic work-out blunders. From over eating
‘health fitness foods to bypassing the cool down,’ these mistakes
can become on-going atrocities.
Target the Right Heart Rate
Generally, Superman/Wonderwoman syndrome transpires when an exerciser
work out above the safe cardiovascular ratio. Exercising excessively
fatigues the body too rapidly. Alternatively, when the body is
exerted below the regular rate it is not physiologically challenged
to compel stamina or endurance. To determine your appropriate
heart rate refer to a chart. Then while you are exercising, monitor
your heart rate 10-minutes into the fitness regimen.
Pace your Weight-lifting
Just because you have been working out for 4-months, it does not
mean that you have the super human strength to hurl a 500-iron
weight over your head. Quite often, avid weight lifters may forget
about using momentum during weight-lifting.
To avoid the Superman/Wonderwoman syndrome, remain true to the
form of each exercise. During bodybuilding do not swing the weight.
Accelerating the weight lift through the movement does not do
anything for the muscle. Instead, slow down the momentum in controlled
movements. However, if you are unable to maintain the correct
form, reduce the weight and start over.
Cool-off
Regardless of how long you have been working out, neglecting to
perform a cool down is a serious blunder. It makes the joints
more susceptible to pain or injury. To enable the blood flow to
return to a normal state, use five to seven minutes to walk off
the elevated intensity. Moreover, it will allow the heart rate
an opportunity to recover. Not to mention, it will better prepare
the body for the next training program and alleviate the possibility
of dizziness or faintness from abrupt exercise cessation. |
