It started with me trying to do crunches on the Swiss Ball, but our dog Hooper kept coming over and getting in my face whenever I leaned back during the crunch. And where is he now? Oh, now that I've decided to work him into the picture, he's all tired and went to lay down in the far end of the hallway.

Well, fine. I guess I'll just lie here and watch some upside-down TV.

Place the ball between your feet

Quando a gente fala de #pré-treino os praticantes de musculação logo pensam em algum produto que te deixa agitado e com bastante energia para treinar.

Mas, a maioria das pessoas nem pensam que o nosso próprio corpo é capaz de se auto estimular, sem a necessidade de um produto ou alguma substância externa.

Para você entender de uma forma mais prática, basta você imaginar como se você estivesse caminhando em uma rua.

Você está caminhado tranquilamente, e do nada aparecesse um pitbull correndo atrás de você.

Nessa situação, você com certeza teria muito mais energia para correr imediatamente independente se você estava muito cansado.

Existem várias situações em que naturalmente você já fica mais agitado e isso é normal.

Isso na verdade é um sistema de sobrevivência do nosso corpo, toda vez que a gente se depara com uma situação de alto risco e que ameaça a nossa sobrevivência.

E isso causa a ativação do sistema nervoso autônomo simpático e esse sistema causa uma série de reações.

A ativação desse sistema, te deixa muito estimulado e ele vai aumentar a produção de cortisol, e aumenta a sua glicemia.

Você vai ter bronco-dilatação para você respirar melhor, você vai ter aumento da circulação sanguínea com aumento dos batimentos cardíacos.

Além disso, você vai ter aumento até mesmo da pupila dos seus olhos para você enxergar melhor.

Você tem uma série de reações para preparar o seu corpo ou para fuga ou para luta.

Isso funciona como se fosse um pré treino mesmo!
