Everyone is up to something when fitness hit their mind. May be you wonna be a muscle man, or you are that lady trying to improve your physical appearance, or you feel you are so week so you need to get a little stronger or just looking for fun fitness. Whatever the case, everyone wants to achieve the goal as fast as possible. But I am condemning you right now because you subject yourself to strenuous, physical demanding exercises quite unhealthy for your body.
My worry here is that you don't give your body time to recover after such straining. The heart rate monitor that now gives you an idea of how hard your heart is working is one thing I have to congratulate your for buying. It is a good thing that you will rate yourself and won't try to go beyond the limit speed of 80%. If you do then the machine will help you know when to slow down or add up your speed.
The consistency fitness goes hand in had with challenging your body enough to bring about positive internal and external changes. For that reason you want to schedule your workouts in such a way that you have adequate recovery time from workout to workout. Actually you don't need to take time off your workout schedule and relaxing as the best way to rid your body of the metabolic toxins that accumulate during intense exercise. What you need is to perform soft exercises aimed not at breaking down the body, but simply at helping it to respond more effectively and efficiently to the stress you have put it through.
Your active recovery is characterized by stimulation of the body to heal faster, to get blood flowing to sore muscles and joints and to flush out metabolic toxins such as accumulated lactic acid. Light aerobic exercises like waling or gentle swimming are excellent ways to help the body's healing. These exercises also help the body to release Synovial fluid, which nourishes and lubricates all your joint by resurfacing the cartilage and keeping it smooth. Exercises like yoga and dancing are particularly effective and encouraging this process of fitness.
A well balanced fitness programme should bring about a new level of awareness of our bodies and their limitations. There's a thin line between pushing your limits in a healthy way and overdoing it and getting injured. Once you begin to feel that slight insisting pain, it is best to step back and reassess your limits.
An inkling that you are headed towards injury, will be continued pain even after you warm up, a slight swelling around a particular joint or when you find yourself giving one side of the body a little favor over the other. If you have any of these signs, you need to incorporate more active recovery into your training schedule, rather than be forced to take a much longer and unplanned break later. With a little willingness to slow down when tired or hurt, we can keep up the fitness habit for life.
Whatever the reason for your fitness, you need to reach your goal; don't forget that the way you rest matters a lot. Good luck.
