Warm Up to Workout

by glenn on February 22, 2011

Every 6 minutes in the United States someone pulls a hamstring, according to the latest statistics. This is from improper pre-workout behavior. Taking the body from a cooled state to an all engaged environment can cause a wearing down of the body. The closest example for this would be to start a car in the dead of winter and hold the accelerator pedal to the floor. Doing this, the engine will wear down and cease to perform at optimal levels. Warming up cannot be taken for granted nor should it be cut short. Everyone wants to feel healthy and to wear clothing that does not bunch up around the mid-section. A New York City personal trainer will advise and assist in the goals set forth, while adequately ensuring the body is ready to perform.

All to often individuals do not work out with proper warm up techniques required for the body. The human body needs exercise to maintain healthy functions within the organ structures. Plunging into a workout with out first warming up is destructive to the body’s normal state. To take a rubber band and stretch it to its max, in the middle of winter, the band will snap. The ligaments and tendons, which are vital to our everyday activities, will act exactly the same. Personal trainers NYC will not only design a work out regimen which is tailored to the client’s specific needs, they will also ensure the body is properly conditioned by accurate warming up techniques.

Your heart beats over 40 million times a year. If you get scared, the body immediately releases a hormone called adrenaline which allows for the heart to handle the demand of the fight-or-flight response. By not giving your heart a conditioning period by warming up, the demand on the heart becomes very great; working out does not require the release of the adrenaline, so there are no safeguards in body functions to help off set the oxygen demand the tissue structures will require. Personal trainers NYC have extensive experience in helping reach the optimal state of warming up before the cardiac muscle is taxed. A personal trainer NYC will provide support to the mind for endurance while ensuring progress is achieved.
