Understanding The Concept Of Endurance Coaching

By Jose Edwards


When it comes to body building, it is important that one does not exert the body and muscles beyond limitations. Most often, individuals having gone through endurance coaching are far less likely prone to over exertion than otherwise. When an individual completes this type training, the overall body is better able to remain active for long periods of time.

In addition, this type exercise also promotes the ability to recover from, withstand and have immunity against fatigue, wounds and trauma. While most often used in aerobics, it applies to all workouts which work to strengthen the body. In general, a long work out session will build the most stamina over time.

One word that is often used in conjunction with this type training is "long, " as in long workouts. While this is the case, it should be noted that the word carries different definitions when it comes to endurance. For example, it can refer to minutes for higher intensity programs, and days or weeks for lower ones.

While moving through the process, success is often seen when individuals can increase work out times, stamina and strength. Other signs of improvement are the ability to add repetitions to various exercise routines. For example, adding repetitions to push-ups, sit-ups or jumping jacks on a regular basis are all signs that an individual has been successful in building additional strength and stamina.

While runners often experience the benefits of endorphin release, so too those who participate in endurance training. Endorphins are chemicals which produce a natural high in those who perform strenuous exercise routines, run or weight lift on a regular basis. The chemicals also aid in limiting symptoms of anxiety, chronic disease and depression while creating an overall sense of happiness at the time of release.

While having shown that greater stamina can assist in strengthening the heart, there has been no implication that heart disease can be eliminated or overcome through this type exercise. As such, anyone experiencing issues related to heart disease need first check with a health care provider before undergoing any endurance oriented type program. Once approved, it is also important to keep track of progress and report back to the health care provider on a regular basis. Otherwise, the individual might be experiencing conditions which can often be invisible without regular examinations.

The ultimate consequence of adapting this type training as part of a regular lifestyle is that it creates a slower utilization of muscle mass and decreases blood glucose levels. By doing sit-ups, push-ups and jumping jacks on a regular basis, results will be realized much faster than with simple weight training. After which, the body also has an easier time absorbing nutrients.

Endurance can also refer to the ability to maintain a positive attitude during times of grief, hardship and stress. Whereas, stamina is often only associated with exercise. At the same time, both refer to the ability to build strength while adding more repetition to workout routines over a period of time.
