What is a real introduction to fitness?
About two or three months ago, a friend asked me this question in the background of the official WeChat account: What is a real introduction to fitness?

Because the background message of WeChat official account was automatically cleaned up after five days, I can't repeat his question completely and accurately, except that he probably means: I have been practicing in the gym for a long time, and the more I practice, the more I feel white. The more you practice, the more you feel that fitness involves too much knowledge, which makes him confused. I don't know when and how to really start.

This question attracted me instantly. You know, how exciting it is to face such good questions as "Coach ran away and lost his stomach", "What should I do if my legs are thick" and "How much is your private education class" every day! Just, after thinking for a long time, I found myself confused. ...

This question is difficult to answer, because "fitness" is a very big concept. In the current public cognition, when it comes to fitness, it is bodybuilding that comes to mind, and building a strong muscle has become a symbol of fitness success. But in fact, there are many fitness systems, including weightlifting, physical training, functional training, cross-training and so on, and bodybuilding is just one of them. From a broader perspective, the old ladies and grandfathers' favorite sports such as football and basketball, square dance and Tai Ji Chuan are also considered as fitness.

In addition, everyone's fitness purpose is different. Some people may just want a pair of thick chest muscles, some people want to jump higher and run faster, some people want to stretch their muscles and adjust their posture, and some people want to lose weight effectively, which makes this question more difficult to answer.

However, in order to achieve different goals safely and effectively, bodybuilders need to go through the same process in the basic stage. Generally speaking, it is on the premise of giving full play to the basic joint functions and learning to control the core, we can accurately grasp several basic movements of the human body (squatting, pushing, pulling, rotating, etc.). ), and on the basis of the basic action mode, the basic strength is initially developed and gradually promoted. This is a relatively scientific physical development process, and almost all training systems need to go through this process.

In my opinion, it is the real introduction to fitness after completely completing this basic stage and gaining substantial gains.

Many people, especially girls, have been going to the gym for three or four years, and always just use the treadmill elliptical machine to play with several groups of small dumbbells. They have never done too much joint and muscle group exercise, so they must be regarded as fitness whites. I have a student who has run many marathons and achieved good results, but when he first came to me, he found that his joints were stiff and his coordination was poor, so it was difficult to mobilize all parts of his body reasonably. In my eyes, he is still a blank sheet of paper. I have also met extreme fitness enthusiasts. Russia's standing, people's flag and other actions can be easily completed, but it can't do a standard squat, of course, it is not an introduction. There are too many such examples.

So, is it an introduction to mastering various fancy fitness games? How thick and strong the muscles are, is it an introduction? Can you lift more weight to start? I don't think the standard is like this. For the public, fitness should be an extremely basic thing, and all people's sports goals should be based on this-standard movements and certain strength reserves.

For the public, the purpose of our fitness is not how big the muscles are, how strong the strength is, or how thin the body is, nor is it just to pursue a specific performance, but to return every part of the body to its original function. Speed, strength, endurance, agility, flexibility and coordinated development. The premise of this goal must be to control and master all parts of the body, make standard movements, and gradually strengthen the basic strength on the basis of standard movements. With this road, after a long period of development, you will naturally gain a beautiful figure and adapt to various sports events more smoothly. This process can also make people know more about your body.

Of course, the most important thing is the change of mentality during training.

For many people, fitness is like a girl who likes it very much but hasn't started dating yet. You know she is very kind and can bring you a lot of things, but you have no real feelings for her. Even if you try to get close to her and start being with her, you can't adapt. Because she asks too much of you, you sometimes feel very painful and difficult to persist. Instead of getting substantive happiness in a short time, you have to pay more.

However, after a long time, you found a way to get along, and your feelings gradually developed. You also realized her goodness and discovered the changes she has made to you. So, being with her became a natural thing. You don't need to force yourself, she has been integrated into your life.

Yes, when you no longer need to insist and go to the gym naturally, you really enter her world, which is the real introduction to fitness.
