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
9
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.
