Body Building
Is often used synonymously with strength training. The fundamental principal here is OVERLOAD. Here,
the muscle works against greater loads than usual. This can be done by increasing the load you are
working against.
Patronization
This is the term used to vary your exercise program for both physiological and psychological benefits. In
your overall program, you should vary the workload, frequency and intensity. The body responds better
to variety and so do you. In addition, when you feel yourself getting "stale', bring in periods of lighter
exercise to allow the body to recuperate and restore its reserves. You will enjoy your program more
and feel better for it.
Muscle Soreness
For the first week or so, this may be the only indication you have that you are on an exercise program.
This, of course, does depend on your overall fitness level. A confirmation that you are on the correct
program is a very slight soreness in most major muscle groups. This is quite normal and will disappear in
a matter of days.
If you experience major discomfort, you may be on a program that is too advanced or you have
increased your program too rapidly.
If you experience PAIN during or after exercise, your body is telling you something.
Stop exercising and consult your doctor.
WHAT TO WEAR
Wear clothing that will not restrict your movement in any way while exercising. Clothes should be light
enough to allow the body to cool. Excessive clothing that causes you to perspire more than you
normally would while exercising, gives you no advantage. The extra weight you lose is body fluid and
will be replaced with the next glass of water you drink. It is advisable to wear a pair of gym or running
shoes or "sneakers".
Breathing During Exercise
Do not hold your breath while exercising. Breathe normally as much as possible. Remember, breathing
involves the intake and distribution of oxygen, which feeds the working muscles.
Rest periods
Once you start your exercise program, you should continue through to the end. Do not break off
halfway through and then restart at the same place later on without going through the warm‐up stage
again.
The rest period required between strength training exercises may vary from person to person. This will
depend mostly on your level of fitness and the program you have chosen. Rest between exercises by all
means, but do not allow this to exceed two minutes. Most people manage with half minute to one
minute rest periods.
