However, Bian Xiao does have some suggestions. For example, before gaining muscle, you must lose fat first. Of course, this is also based on the physical condition of most people now.
Why should we lose fat first in fitness? Because most of them have exercised for half a year or even several years, the outline or muscle lines of abdominal muscles are not obvious. Take the abdominal muscles for example. I just think I may not work hard enough. As long as you keep exercising and abuse your abdomen every day, you can develop a perfect six-pack abdominal muscle.
In fact, if you do this, in the end, you will only find that everything you do is in vain, because the body fat rate has not decreased. Even if you abuse your abdomen every day, your abdominal muscles will be covered with fat. Therefore, under normal circumstances, you should lose fat first and then gain muscle.
So what are the benefits of reducing fat? These five benefits will help you improve your fitness efficiency.
1, make your figure look stronger.
If the body fat rate is high, the body will look bloated, the body will not look strong, and people will think that they are fat. After reducing fat, the body fat rate will be reduced, the muscle contour will be more obvious, and the figure will look stronger.
In fact, in life, most people think that thinner people look stronger, but this seems contradictory? In fact, this sentence is understood as follows: the lower the body fat rate, the stronger it looks.
2, low body fat rate, easy to exercise.
How to understand it? It's simple. For example, your body fat rate is very high now, and your weight exceeds 150 kg. At this time, if your body is growing a few kilograms or even a few kilograms of fat, it is difficult to find any changes in your body.
But if your body fat rate is low, the body fat rate of boys is about 12% and that of girls is about 18%, then if you gain a few pounds at this time, you will find that your vest line is not very obvious. Therefore, if the body fat rate is low, you can clearly see your body changes and make it easier for you to keep in good shape.
3. It is easier to get muscles.
If the body fat rate is high, it will inhibit the growth of body muscles and reduce the metabolic level, which will only make you fatter and fatter. After reducing fat, the body's metabolic level is improved, fat is reduced, and the speed of muscle growth will naturally accelerate. And the thinner the body, the faster the body can absorb protein and insulin, that is, the easier it is for the body to grow muscles.
4. Improve sports performance.
In fact, in life, we will find that fat people are particularly afraid of exercise, because their weight base is too large, and they will get tired if they don't exercise a few times. And fat is not a substance that resists external forces, but muscle is. That is to say, when the body is walking or exercising, it is muscles that drive the body, not fat.
The reduction of fat content can effectively improve sports performance, which is why some thin people don't pant after running for more than ten minutes, while fat people pant after running for a few minutes or even steps.
5. Make your body healthier and healthier.
Once the body is too obese, it will bring various diseases that affect health, such as hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. Reducing the body fat rate means losing more fat, which can make the body healthier and healthier. And with the improvement of exercise effect, you will enjoy the process of fitness more.
