Twisting or pulling a muscle or tendon can result in a strain. It can also be caused by a single instance of improper lifting or by over stressing the back muscles. A chronic strain usually results from overuse involving prolonged, repetitive movement of the muscles and tendons. In addition, there are several factors that put a person at greater risk for a back strain or sprain, including excessively curving the lower back, being overweight, having weak back or abdominal muscles, and tight hamstrings (muscles in the back of the thighs). Playing sports that involve pushing and pulling—such as weightlifting and football—also increases the risk of a low-back injury. Chronic strains happen slowly over time from prolonged, repetitive overuse of muscles. Chronic strains develop from using the same muscle groups in the same pattern, causing even small stresses to build on one another. Causes of chronic strain include:
Improper body mechanics or using the wrong muscle groups for a task, such as repeatedly lifting heavy objects using your back instead of your legs
Improper sports mechanics or techniques, such as habitually gripping a tennis racket too tightly or an incorrect golf swing
Participation in the same exercises in the same way, day after day
Poor posture
Use of the wrong equipment, such as running shoes without the proper support for your foot type
<span>Maggie would build muscular strength because she has chosen such a heavy weight. While she will build some muscular endurance by lifting, she will primarily be building strength. To gain endurance one would lift lighter weights with higher repetitions. Heavy weights with low repetitions builds more muscle, faster.</span>
<em>why does working out make us feel good?</em>
<em />
That "feel good" chemical is known as Endorphins. They are released during exercise because of the body goes through extended amounts of stress when exercising. Have you ever heard of the "Runners high"? It's actually a real sensation that you can thank Endorphins for.
Serotonin is also an important chemical that contributes to why exercise feels this way. Have you ever felt depressed after sitting around and doing nothing? Low serotonin is one of the biggest contributors to feeling depressed. Serotonin is in alot of anti-depressant medications. Serotonin is mainly released through exercise.
There could be a reason not relating to chemicals at all. Working out and seeing the results gives us a major confidence boost.
