Training to strengthen muscles
is a vital part of a balanced exercise routine that includes aerobic (or
cardiovascular) activities and flexibility exercises. Regular practice of
aerobic activities, such as running or biking, makes the muscles use oxygen
more efficiently while strengthening the heart and lungs. When you train muscle
strength by lifting weights, you use your muscles to lift those extra pounds.
This concept is called resistance or power training. This strengthens and
increases the amount of muscle mass in your body, making your muscles work
harder than they are used to working.
In power training, you can also
use resistance elastics and even your body weight (as in push-ups, abs and
squats). Many people tend to exercise in which weight is lifted, but there is a
notable difference between power training, weightlifting and competitive
bodybuilding!
What is power training?
Most people who exercise with a
weight typically use two different types of power exercises: the weights
themselves (including dumbbells and barbells) and bodybuilding machines.
Weights generally allow you to work a group of muscles at the same time.
Muscle strength power training
uses resistance methods, such as weights, weight training machines, resistance
elastics, or bodyweight itself to work muscle strength and build muscles. Power
training is not recommended for teenagers. This is because these types of
activities can cause severe injuries to bones, muscles and joints that are
still growing.
How to start power training?
Before you start power training
for muscle strength, you should undergo a test so that your doctor tells you
that lifting weights is safe for you.
Every time you start a new
activity, start slowly so that your body becomes accustomed to the progressive
increase in exercise. If you had never lifted weights or used weight machines,
it is possible that, when you wake up the next day, you notice the sore muscles
(the dreaded "stiff"). And, due to something called "late-onset
muscle pain," the pain may be intense two to three days after the first
session.
Also, ask for advice and
guidance from an expert. Your personal trainer or coach can guide you on how
many times a week, you should train to avoid muscle aches and injuries.
When training, whether doing
weights or using weight machines, always make sure that someone is nearby
supervising or watching you. The supervisor can act as your particular monitor,
correcting you when you do some exercise incorrectly.
Even a person who is in top
form can sometimes fail forces. If your strength fails while you are doing a
"bicep curl", not much will happen. All you have to do is drop the
weight on the floor. But, if you are in the middle of an exercise on a bench,
it is easy for you to end up trapped under a bar. A trainer or coach may
prevent you from having to drop the bar on your chest.
Why should you power train all
parts of your body?
If we want to start exercising
to get fit, gain muscle mass, lose weight or power training, we go to the gym
and work the part of the body that we want to change. This is a mistake that we
should avoid. If you do sports, you have to make sure that you train all parts
of the body.
The keys to making sure you
train all parts of your body. If our goal is to gain muscle mass, it is
recommended to start working the entire body, so that the body has a solid
foundation. This will make the muscle begin to build up mass. Later, we can
develop it by doing specific bodybuilding exercises to gain more muscle mass in
the areas we work in.
How can I train my whole body?
So that you have a harmonious
body and that it is worked in all its set we propose some exercises that you
can do at home. Everyone can do them, no matter what physical level you
have.
Start training your body today.
There are two ways to power
train, either through power training sessions that make you work the whole
body, or doing loose exercises of your free choice. It is strictly to ensure
that you work the entire body for a day and let it rest the next. On the
following day, we will train another muscle group that we have not trained and
then let it rest.
Of course, you have to hydrate
before, during and after workouts and follow a nutritional plan that helps you
take care of the line at all times.
The exercises to do before
power training:
·
Iron: it works legs, abs, lumbar
and arms. They consist of supporting the toes and forearms and keeping the body
raised (straight, without the ass being higher) for a few seconds.
·
Push-ups: upper and abdominal
cardio.
·
Squats: it works the legs, buttocks,
back but also improves posture and does cardio.
·
Burpees: it is an ideal combination of
push-ups and squats. It makes the whole bodywork.
·
The
climber:
it seems a flexion that makes legs and arms work because being in a flexion
position. Take one leg first and then another towards the chest, as if we were
climbing a mountain.
·
Stride: lower body and middle
body. If we also add weights to the arms, we will also work the upper
part.
·
Leap
opening legs and arms: this
is an exercise that makes work legs and arms at the same time.
Power training brings benefits
far beyond aesthetics. This type of training, little mentioned and ignored, can
treat problems such as weight loss. It provides us with numerous functional,
health and wellness benefits, as well as to prevent future injuries.
