Endurance weight training
Endurance weight training is a procedure mostly followed to increase the size and strength of skeletal muscles. A variety of specialized equipment has been developed for the weight training regimen that exercises a specific group of muscles. Bodybuilding and weightlifting are sports rather than exercises. Weight training comes under the category of strength training. It is the most popular form of strength training and is almost synonymous with strength training for a layman. Weight training is usually followed to achieve a desired shape or size. It can be achieved by performing a particular combination of sets, reps and exercises. It is advised by experts to start a training program with light weights which you can lift easily approximately 10 times. Take a few minutes of break and then try another set of exercises. It is important that you do one set of exercise for each group of muscle starting with larger muscles and then gradually moving to the smaller ones. The various types of equipment available for weight training are dumbbells, barbells, pulleys and stacks in the form of weight machines. The body’s own weight can also act as a form of weight-training in the case of push-ups and chin-ups. One should be aware that different kinds of weights will give different kinds of resistance. For example lifting 5 kg on a weight stack is easier than lifting 5 kg of dumbbells. The combination of exercises can be designed so as to specifically address the needs of a particular individual. This advantage is not offered by other strength training exercises which re deficient in precision and flexibility that is provided by weights. The various advantages of weight training include increased metabolic rate, increased bone density and tendon and ligament strength, enhancement of body tone and posture. Although weight training can be categorized as one of the safest forms of strength training, however wrong execution can result in injury to various body parts. Weight training involves lifting weights with proper form or good form i.e. exercising the correct muscle group and not transferring weight to other muscle groups. Using the wrong form can be injurious. Spend 5-10 min warming up with aerobic exercise and then start with your weight training program. Perform the movements slowly at a steady rate. Suddenly starting an intense weight training program can cause soreness of muscles. Temporary discomfort like swelling of muscles or burning sensation in muscles is experienced if you do a large number of reps and exercises. These are completely harmless.
