TRAINING IN THE GYM WITH WEIGHTS

 

LOSE WEIGHT AND IMPROVE HEART FUNCTION

4. FREE WEIGHTS OR MACHINE WEIGHTS

Free weights, as a general rule, use muscles other than those in the target muscle group because your body has to stabilize the weight as well as move it.

When you use a weight machine the weight path is controlled and restricted by the machinery structure and fewer ancillary muscles are used during the pull, lift or push.

Machine weights do an excellent job of building muscle mass and they have been demonstrated to be safer especially for the novice. You can get variety and results if you do both machine weights and free weights.

6. AEROBIC AND WEIGHT TRAINING FOR HEART HEALTH

You may have heard people talk about an" enlarged heart" this refers to an adverse health condition where the heart muscle, including the chambers of the heart, are enlarged. This abnormal heart enlargement takes place when the heart muscle is weakened by some heart disease.

The heart actually dilates to help compensate for the weakened pumping action of the heart as a result of disease.

A well trained athlete may also have an enlarged heart because of the amount of stress they place on the heart's pumping requirements to fuel their training and competing. So some degree of heart enlargement in athletes is usually a normal response to exercise. It is not unhealthy, and may even be beneficial. Endurance athletes, like marathoners, tend to have larger chamber sizes while strength athletes, like power-lifters, tend to have thicker muscle walls. The best outcome may well be a combination of both types of exercise: weights and aerobics.
