Is local weight loss useful
1. Is local weight loss useful? It's useless.
First of all, fat is consumed throughout the body, which is a cliché that has been said thousands of times. It is not possible to consume any piece you want to consume in a targeted manner.
"Lean down wherever you practice" is just a wishful thinking of the public, but "practice where you grow bigger" is completely possible, because muscles can be selectively hypertrophy and directional congestion. For example, if you want to slim your calves, doing a lot of heel lifting exercises all day will not help you. It is true that it can strengthen your gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, but it will have little effect on consuming fat. So whether your goal is to slim the whole body or a certain part (such as the calf), you need a systematic exercise and a good diet control, as well as long-term persistence. Generally speaking, 12 weeks is a big cycle. For heavier people, they even need to prepare for a protracted war for half a year to a year, so you will become impetuous after only a few weeks of exercise. Please persist, be patient, and continue to work hard. In training, we should do more large muscles and whole-body exercises (of course, small muscles should also be practiced). I often see many people arranging plans to train for 4 to 5 days a week, with abdominal exercise + aerobics every day. Large muscle group exercise is the main force in consuming calories and improving metabolism. Never ignore them!
2. Correct the fitness mentality and eliminate utilitarian congenital body differences
Not every woman's body shape can be perfect through exercise. This is impossible. After all, everyone's bone ratio and basic muscle mass distribution are different. We can only say that it is icing on the cake on the original basis. For example, there are many women with body fat status and good muscle mass. No matter how they practice, their body shape still tends to be "H-shaped"("no waist") when viewed from the front. In such a situation, it is only recommended to strengthen the outer side of the lower buttocks, thighs, and shoulders. After the upper and lower widens, the waist will appear thinner, which is helpless.
To be honest, 80% of runway female models and some female stars that meet public aesthetics rely on their "foundation"(innate height ratio), and exercise only accounts for a small part of their contribution to body shape (most of them don't even exercise). The true meaning of exercise is to make your body healthier and better face life. Body shape is just a by-product of exercise, and there is no need to torture yourself for this. "I must practice to have a slim waist, hips, and long legs like XXX! She is my ultimate goal! We're all human beings, why can't I have that body shape!" This is a genetic issue.
3. Small details in life can correct your body shape and prevent you from getting too far on the right track.
1. Don't cross your legs less or less, although this is very goddess. If you reach the point where you are not comfortable, you may already have physical problems.
2. If it is not necessary, try not to wear shoes with too high heels. If work requires standing for a long time or wearing high heels, you must remember to massage and stretch your calves after work. You can find a small ball, such as a golf ball, tennis ball, etc., and place it on the soles of your feet to massage and relax the plantar fascia., then massage and stretch the back of your calves. You can also do some plantar muscle strength exercises to strengthen the lower foot muscles, such as throwing a towel on the ground, grabbing it with your toes, and repeating it several times. If necessary, foam the entire shaft and massage the entire body (especially the back and lower limbs) to relax. Hao can also do regular professional health care.
3. Consciously control your posture when walking, lift your head and chest out, try not to walk loosely and listlessly, and try not to wear high-heeled slippers, which is a high chance of spraining your ankle.
4. When carrying a bag or carrying a bag, alternate the two sides instead of always carrying one side.
5. If you already have posture problems with upper and lower crosses (such as chest hump, high and low shoulders, pelvis forward tilt, joint hyperextension, etc.), please find a professional coach to do it before conducting systematic fitness training. Correct the poor posture first. Otherwise, poor posture will be further strengthened in the following training. In serious cases, it will lead to injury. This is a vicious cycle.
