correct nutrition plan
how many of you exercise or want to start exercising to get stronger? and how many of you know people who have got injured because of exercising?
let me share with you an insider’s secret – nobody gets stronger by exercising! in fact everybody – yes, everybody – gets injured because of exercise…
shocking, right? yes it is, and the truth follows – and it is called the overcompensation principle.
in layman terms what it means is that you will never get stronger during exercise. while lifting the weight, or running, or stretching, you basically load your muscles and bones with a stress which the body part is not accustomed to. this causes micro-injuries, called micro-trauma in that part.
now when your muscles get rest between 2 workout sessions, they recover (over-compensate) from the trauma and become stronger, provided your muscles are getting the correct ratio of macronutrients at the right time interval. this is a little more detailed than just downing your favorite protein drink as soon as you keep your weights down…
so it is true that everybody gets injured while exercising and it is during recovery of micro-trauma, that they adapt and get stronger. if your muscles don’t get the correct nutrition at the time they need, the micro-trauma doesn’t heal completely. microtrauma + microtrauma + microtrauma + incorrect training habits = macrotrauma, also known as injury!
this is where nutrition comes in. nutrition is all about the study of food and how our bodies use food as fuel for growth and daily activities. and as such it becomes an important factor in maintaining optimum health and achieving your fitness goals – injury-free.
