Let’s dive into the what and why of muscle endurance exercises!
Muscle Endurance Exercises-Overview
Can anyone do muscle endurance exercises?
Muscle endurance exercises can be done by anyone! They are relatively safe as long as you listen to your body.
Muscle endurance exercises are defined as repetitive motion over a longer duration. Also, time under tension helps to build the muscle and strengthen it.
Muscle Endurance Exercise can be any of the follow (and so much more!!)
Resistance exercises can include: using exercises machines, free weights, loop bands, barbells, chains, etc. Endurance exercises can be combined with the above, or done completely alone.
Cycling, jogging/running, rowing, swimming, HIIT workouts, are all amazing endurance exercises to help build and shape those muscles!!
Nutrition Recovery Tips
Is it enough to do muscle endurance exercises alone?
Nope!!
It is important to have proper nutrition to support your training and fitness regiment. If you are focusing on endurance performance, proper protein and carbohydrate intake is crucial.
Recovery is just as important as the training you put your body through! Your muscles need time to replenish and repair the muscle fibers being torn throughout the week. Stretching, yoga, light activity during “off” days is a great way to recover.
