Exercise & Fitness
Weight training is an important component of fitness. As in any training program, rest is an essential factor. It's important to leave a day between exercising a specific body part or muscle in order to reap the benefits of your hard work. That's because weightlifting may cause micro-tears in the muscle fiber(s) that temporarily reduce strength. These tears are thought to cause some of the soreness you feel after a new exercise or tough workout. During this crucial rest time, your muscles are building protein and getting stronger. It takes about two days to heal the muscle fibers torn by weightlifting.
If you want to lift weights every day (remember to take at least one day a week off for rest), focus on different muscle groups in three-day cycles, leaving two days in betweenthe same group.
For example:
• Day one: back and biceps
• Day two: chest and triceps
• Day three: legs and abs
• Day four: repeat day one
Other tips to consider for safer weightlifting:
• Start with light cardiovascular activities to warm up your muscles.
• Avoid rushing through your workout — slow and steady is recommended.
• Day three: legs and abs
• Day four: repeat day one
