| 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
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.
