Target the Right Heart RateGenerally,
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.
