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.
