Bodybuilding After 50 Training
3 Common and Easily Avoided Errors in Weight Training!
1. Stop Overeating: Yes it is true that you are burning more calories when you engage in regular strength training and will require additional ‘fuel’ to build muscle. The error occurs when people eat the wrong foods, high fat (bad fats specifically) and high sugar content. Exercise does not cancel out the need to eat a proper diet. Also regular exercise will stimulate an appetite and you will feel hungry. Eating more food means eating more calories – even if you are eating healthy food. If you eat more than you burn in a day through regular activity and exercise, this excess will turn into extra pounds. You need to base your food intake on your weight requirements. If you need to lose some weight, then you need to eat less than you burn in a day.
2. Stop Overtraining: Again, exercise is a great thing for mind, body and soul but as with anything you need to step back and take a break. Your muscles need the break to rebuild. Training while you are constantly sore and exhausted means that you are opening yourself up to potential injury. Even while exercising remember to take breaks in between sets and to keep hydrated. A rest or recovery period is a critical to your workout as the exercises you do.
3. Not changing your intensity: You cannot do the same thing over and over again and expect your results to change. This is true with anything in life and strength training is certainly no exception to this. We need to constantly challenge ourselves to do more. Whether we increase the number of repetitions or the amount of weight we are changing the intensity of our workout and this is when you will see growth and positive changes in your body.
