To increase muscles strength; follow this principle:
Increasing resistance and maintaining the number
of repetitions of an exercise results in increased
muscle strength.
To tone your body, follow the principle: Decreasing
resistance plus increasing the number of repetitions
of an exercise results in increased body tone.
Once you feel comfortable with an exercise,
you can change the resistance, the number of
repetitions, or the speed at which you do the
exercise. It is not necessary to change all three
variables. For example, let’s say that you are
training at 22kgs and performing the exercise 10
times in 3 minutes. When this becomes too easy,
you may decide to move up lifting 27kgs for the
same number of repetitions in the same amount of
time. Lifting more weights fewer times most often
develops muscle strength. To gain both muscle
strength and endurance, it is recommended that
you perform each exercise 15 to 20 reps per set.
Training Intensity
How hard you begin to train depends on
your overall level of fitness. The soreness you
experienced can be lessened by decreasing the
load you place on your muscles and by performing
fewer sets. To avoid injury, you should gradually
work into an exercise program and set the load
to your individual fitness level. The load should
increase as your fitness level increases.
Muscle soreness is common, especially when you
first start exercising. If you are painfully sore for a
long time, it may be time to change your program.
Eventually, your muscle system will become
accustomed to the stress and strain placed on it
Beginning a Strength Building
Program
Warming Up
To begin strength training, it is important to stretch
and perform light exercise for 5 to 10 minutes.
This helps prepare the body for more strenuous
exercise by increasing circulation, raising your body
temperature and developing more oxygen to your
muscles.
Workout
Each workout to keep in mind that muscle soreness
that lasts for a long period in not desirable and
may mean that injury has occurred.
Cool Down
At the end of each workout, perform slow
stretching exercises for 5 to 10 minutes. Ease
into each stretch only going as far as you can.
This stage allows your muscles wind down after
training.
To provide a total workout program it is also
recommended that 2 to 3 days of aerobic exercise
is performed in addition to the strength training.
Drinking Water
For the body to function properly, it must be
properly hydrated. If you are exercising, you should
increase your fluid intake. The reason for this is
that the water you take in will leave your system
through the sweating mechanism that cools your
body during exercise. The water you lose through
exercise must be replaced so that the muscles can
recover properly.
Rest Day
Although you may not feel like doing it, taking
a rest day at least once a week is important
because it gives you body a chance to heal it self.
Continuously working your muscle will result in
over training which will not benefit in the long run.
