Anabolism and Catabolism effect your workout routine

 

You can maximize the effect of your perfect workout by achieving a balance in Anabolic and Catabolic stage.

Anabolism and catabolism

Anabolism and catabolism are two important components of metabolism. They both affect your muscle mass and body composition. The human body works in an amazing way. It is like an inbuilt automated factory that keeps on breaking and regenerating cells and tissues.

Both anabolism and catabolism are important processes to keep you healthy and look fantastic. In the anabolic stage, your body consumes energy. In the catabolic stage, your body releases energy. You gain some you spend some.

Now! What is happening in your workout routine?

Your body is consuming energy. It is repairing the tissues. Growing new cells. Keeping the old tissues healthy. In the process, your body is self-healing during the anabolic stage.

On the other hand during the catabolic stage. The body breaks down the larger molecules to their building blocks. It releases energy. Your body is getting energy from the Energy Stores in your body.

Your workout exercises are categorized into these two- Anabolism workout and Catabolism workout. These routines will work in their own way having different effects on your body. Ultimately leading to the desired end result – Overall Fat Loss.

Well! What is the advantage of anabolism and catabolism combined routine?

It is manifolds. While your body is gaining the desired muscle mass. Anabolic exercise is also shedding off the unwanted fat.

Side-wise your body mass is also going down and the credit goes to Catabolic exercise. You can pick a combination of both of these exercises. Or Your trainer can help you to choose an effective combination to achieve fast and long-lasting weight loss.

Focus! When does your body reach Anabolic State?

Here your target is to increase the muscle mass. So where would your focus be! Yes, you are right. Your entire focus would be on strength training.

During strength training exercise you choose a workout which offers resistance. You can choose weights and machines. These exercises help in breaking down the muscle tissue. The auto-healing process for these broken tissue start when your body is at rest or you sleep. New and more muscle fibres develop. That leads to an increase in muscle mass.

The Anabolic hormones that are important for muscle growth are a group of hormones. These include Growth Hormones, insulin-like growth factor – 1 (IGF-1) and Testosterone. These hormones increase when you weight train.

Testosterone acts to increase protein synthesis. In addition, it increases satellite cell count which plays an important role in muscle growth, regeneration and repair.

Awareness! When does Catabolic State start?

A catabolic state is achieved when you perform cardiovascular exercise. These include running, biking, swimming or engaging in some sports activity. These activities need 20 to 45 minutes of your workout plan. Adrenalin, Glucagon, Cortisol are catabolic hormones. They help in burning fat and calories. If you engage in cardiovascular exercise on empty stomach the blood sugar level is sure to go down. In such a situation, Glucagon breaks down the body fat to release glucose into the blood to maintain the level.

Cortisol is often referred to as a stress hormone. It converts fatty acids and amino acids into glucose. This can adversely affect hypertrophy by slowing down protein synthesis. As amino acids would be converted to glucose.

Adrenalin increases your heart rate and gives you a boost to take your workout a step further. In other words, it helps you to maximize your workout.

Upshot! Will blending Anabolism and Catabolism routine workouts help me?

High-intensity interval training boosts your endurance and aerobic performance. Blending anabolism and catabolism together make your workouts more intense. You can do alternate or mix routines. It will result in taking away boredom and instill a surge of excitement and interest in your workout. Happy workout happy muscles.

Caution! Overdose of Catabolism ends up in Fat gains.

Catabolism can be triggered by a number of activities. Stress, lack of sleep, over-exercise, not enough rest. The hormones released during Catabolic activities are desirable only up to a certain amount. When they exceed that level undesired symptoms like fat gain appear.

Cardiovascular activities are wonderful for your heart and body. The best way to avoid prolonged catabolism is to restrict your cardiovascular exercise to not more than 40 to 60 minutes. Give yourself proper nutrition. Follow correct recovery schedule so that you gain muscle mass, leaner body, perfect physique and overall healthy body.

Precept!

Your choice of exercise whether it is weight lifting, High-Intensity Interval Training(HIIT), Whole Body Vibration(WBV) or isometric exercise. Your body consumes glucose present in the bloodstream and lets your muscles grow and regain strength. Only if you force your muscles to work against resistance, to burn energy and to gain strength and power.

A strength training session will burn fewer calories as compared to a cardio session. But in the long run, you will reap the harvest. The boon will be strengthened muscles, lean mass and a high metabolic rate. You will get a rich healthy body.
