The human body has the capability to remove body waste or excess heat generated during workouts or physical activities. High power and intensive bodybuilding workouts are only made possible for a professional or armature bodybuilder by his or her thermo-regulation capacity. Success in body building and even the health of a bodybuilder is strongly pegged on the efficiency of the individual’s thermo-regulation Sweating excessively can however cause adverse effects to the body builder.
Dehydration consequent from excessive sweating is usually referred to as hyperthermia. Mild dehydration consequent from body water losses can and does impair the cognition processes of a body builder. The impairment usually starts only if the water mass lost is more than 1% of the total amounts in the body. The cognitive impairment as a result of excessive heat during exercises causes loss of integrity in the blood-brain barrier. Hyperthermia is also said to lower the cerebral blood flow rate and to raise the brain temperatures to unsafe levels. However, most of these conditions are very rare and happens only in much decimated instances and even then with mild effects.
Exercises, workouts and diet play in the same playing field in bodybuilding. Remember that 2-3 pound differences might be as a result of having eaten dinner, a lot of body water or even clothes. It is not really a permanent weight gain sometimes. A common error is developing a negative mentality and connotation whenever matters of diet are mentioned. In exercises, the workouts and road works should follow consequent laps, where they should be done as fast as a bodybuilder can, through maintaining breathing control and body posture. When the body is worn out, then the body builder can slow down gradually onto a jog and then a walk until resting pace. Immediately after stopping, it is important to start some stretching exercises rather than stop abruptly and sit down. This ensures that the muscles don’t contract suddenly.
Other exercises like rope jumping, frog jumping can be started immediately after the run so as to amplify the cardio status of the body builder. One funny thing about how a body reacts to exercises is that one part of the body can compete with the other over plasma glucose during the physical exercise. More notable is legs and arms and the one that looses out on the competition usually tires faster. Legs have more blood veins than legs and that is why bicep reps are usually more tiring than bicycle rides for the same period.
Female bodybuilders must go beyond elliptical training and get active, relying on machine exercises such as those done on a treadmill, rowing machine or a stationary bicycle. Although these elliptical exercises are easier on the joints they have minimal stimulation of the heart rate and even fat combustion. It is wiser for the women bodybuilder to prefer hikes, track running, swimming and playing field games over indoor machine exercises. The reason for this is because most machines rely on the momentum created by the body builder at the initial movement and then they keep on moving without offering any resistance to the body weight to propel them forth.
