- .... After this general warmup period you can perform some ab work and back
extensions. is will help to thoroughly warm up your lower back ready for
the rigors of an intensive weight session.. Once you are sweating and ready to weight train, keep yourself warm. Stay
well covered, especially between sets, and stay clear of draughts.. Do your serious stretching after you train with the weights and/or between
sets, rather than before you start training. But after the general warmup
work is over, do enough careful and gentle stretching of any muscles that
feel tight and need loosening to their normal range of movement.. Specific warming up
. Most people casually skip over warmup sets. As a result they are neither
physically nor mentally prepared for the hard work sets to follow, and as a
result very often mess up those sets.. ere are at least four important reasons for warming up each exercise
adequately:a. To get liquids pumped into your joint spaces and get the joints, tendons
and muscles “oiled.” is can be done without wearing yourself out by
doing excessive work.
b. To rehearse the form of each exercise. Take all warmup reps and sets
very seriously. Do each rep carefully. Practice perfect exercise form.
Only once you are sure you have the groove perfectly entrenched should
you proceed to your work set(s). Add extra warmup work if you feel you
would benefit from more groove rehearsal. is especially applies to the
more complicated exercises, e.g., deadlift and squat.Many enthusiasts take aerobic activity to such extremes that they
harm their bodies. A fit body is not necessarily a healthy body, and
a healthy body is not necessarily a fit one. Fitness and health are
not synonymous, but of course it is far better to be fit than unfit.
Some people who were super fit also had serious heart disease, and
died of that despite their high level of fitness. And many people
who do not have heart disease are not at all fit.
