Workout Mistakes that Endanger Your Health
- 1. Workout Mistakes that Endanger Your Health
- 2. We all know the many benefits of working out: • Lowers the risk of heart attack • Decreases the risk of cancer • Helps counteract depression • Boosts energy levels • Helps you think clearer • May even slow down the aging process • Looking great!
- 3. But it IS possible to exercise in a way that does more harm than good.
- 4. 1. You forget to stretch and don’t warm up.
- 5. Stretching accelerates the speed at which your body repairs muscles.
- 6. Stretching makes muscles more elastic. This prevents injury and increases flexibility to achieve greater gains.
- 7. Experts find that “static” stretching alone doesn’t seem to make much difference for workouts.
- 8. 10 minutes each day of mobility work are instead recommended.
- 9. After your workout use a foam-roller massage to alleviate any muscle pain or tightness.
- 10. 2. You don’t drink enough water Some basic facts about staying hydrated.
- 11. Think about it–that sweat comes from somewhere. You need to replenish fluids like it’s your job!
- 12. Signs you are not getting enough water include: • Dry mouth • Lightheadedness • An irregular heartbeat • Muscle cramps • Orange-tinted urine
- 13. Men should drink approximately 13 cups of liquid a day… and even more if you’re working out!
- 14. If you get tired of plain water eat water-dense fruits and vegetables.
- 15. 3. You just do cardio
- 16. Cardio is simply any exercise that raises your heart rate.
- 17. Cardio offers many health benefits: • Reducing blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels • Burns extra calories, helping keep body fat levels down • Decreases risk for chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes
- 18. However, doing just cardio exercise with no strength training keeps you from achieving your optimum results.
- 19. Strength training increases your metabolism to burn more calories, while cardio burns off both fat and muscle.
- 20. 4. You push yourself too hard
- 21. Studies have shown that, while exercise has health benefits, exercising harder doesn’t increase the benefits.
- 22. Also, high impact activity can hurt joints and “chronic training” for endurance events can even damage the heart.
- 23. To really maximize your workout, avoid these mistakes. www.MasterOfMuscle.com
Editor's Notes
- Don’t link to sources that aren’t MoM owned.
- Different image. I know we’re limited, but this looks straight out of the 1980s. Doesn’t match our brand. Consider some of the ones that they’ve shared with us on Dropbox.
- I’m good with this hyperlink since it explains the definition of what you mean by “mobility work”
- REPLACE IMAGE. Use the image that has OUR foam roller that is on dropbox
- Is this supposed to be a list? This slide seems disjointed.
- Pixelated image
- Again- you’re flow is off on this. It needs numbers to make it a list. This feels very disjointed.
- Bad image, bad slide. We’ve got to do a better job on this one.
