It is beneficial to distinguish bodybuilding from fitness. In fact, there may still be many friends who don't understand what bodybuilding is and what fitness is. It is generally believed that strength training is bodybuilding training, and the pursuit of heavy training is actually quite different. Distinguishing between primary fitness and secondary fitness is conducive to sharing fitness and fitness activities.

Distinguish bodybuilding from fitness activities. Fitness benefits 1 1. Concept of fitness and fitness activities

People's understanding of bodybuilding and fitness is often vague, and some people regard "big muscles" as synonymous with "bodybuilding"; Some people think that fitness is bodybuilding, equal to middle-aged people. In fact, bodybuilding and fitness are two different concepts, which are both related and different.

1, fitness exercise

Refers to the physical exercise that ordinary healthy people engage in in order to enhance their physique. Mainly to develop and enhance the function of human internal organs. Especially cardiovascular system and respiratory function, as well as strength and endurance. That is, exercise based on aerobic metabolism. However, due to the different age, gender and health status of the participants, the content used is also different. For example, jogging in the morning and old people playing Tai Ji Chuan.

Step 2 keep fit

Fitness is a kind of physical activity, which uses heavy or special equipment such as bare hands, dumbbells, barbells and kettles to exercise, increase physical strength, develop muscles, improve posture and cultivate sentiment. It is a branch of weightlifting and an independent competition. Because its competition is health, strength and beauty, it is called bodybuilding competition.

3. Fitness training

Through various forms of physical exercise, we can improve the functional level of internal organs, especially the cardiovascular system, and finally achieve the goal of strengthening physical fitness. Generally, aerobic training is combined with equipment training, and the amount of exercise in aerobic training is generally not less than equipment training.

Instrument training is mainly based on "light weight, multi-group, short interval" moderate intensity training. "Light weight": 20%-30% of the maximum weight is generally used, with a maximum of 40%. "Multi-group number" is generally not less than 3 groups, and each part is not more than 5 groups. "Multiple times": at least 15 times in each group. "Short interval": generally 30-40 seconds, no more than 60 seconds.

5, bodybuilding training

It is based on developing muscle blocks and shaping muscle lines. Mainly anaerobic training, supplemented by appropriate aerobic training. Anaerobic (instrument) training adopts high-intensity training of "big weight, few groups, few times and appropriate intervals". It has two meanings:

(1) Fitness. The purpose is to cultivate a well-proportioned and beautiful figure and improve the health level.

⑵ Competitive bodybuilding. Through scientific training, reasonable nutrition and full recovery, the muscles of all parts of the body can be developed to the maximum extent, so that the body can become fit and sculptural and win the competition.

Second, the relationship between the two:

From these two concepts, bodybuilding belongs to low-level and popularization, while bodybuilding belongs to high-level, improvement and specialization. Fitness is the foundation, and the development of bodybuilding has improved fitness.

The purpose of both is to enhance people's physique, one focuses on physical health and the other on bodybuilding. Therefore, both men and women, old and young, should take proper exercise at the same time as bodybuilding exercise, so as to make our bodies healthy and fit.

It is beneficial to distinguish bodybuilding from fitness. There are many items involved in fitness, but it does not mean that doing a certain sport is fitness and achieves the effect of fitness. Fitness should be a planned and systematic exercise, and fitness should vary from person to person. If you want to keep fit scientifically, then you must understand several problems.

First, their own situation

First of all, you must know your figure. You need to have an all-round understanding of your figure. For example, your body fat rate, whether you are obese or not, and whether your weight is still normal. If you are obese, then the first consideration is to reduce fat. If it is normal, then the first consideration is to gain muscle. The exercise items selected for reducing fat and increasing muscle are different. If you are obese, you need aerobic exercise and strength training. If you are building muscles, you need more strength training. After you know your body shape, you need to know your physical strength and endurance. For example, if you have good endurance, you can choose to run, and if you have poor endurance, you can use rowing machines, bicycles and other equipment. Through a comprehensive assessment of the body, and then choose the appropriate training plan.

Second, timely adjustment.

If muscle pain occurs during exercise, it is a normal reaction, but if joint pain occurs, you should stop training immediately. If you want to lose weight, you will find that the effect of losing weight is very good at the beginning of exercise, but you can't lose weight after a period of exercise. If you are a friend who insists on one or more sports for a long time, then you need to adjust your exercise style and intensity at this time. This is what we usually call the platform period. The body has adapted to this kind of exercise intensity and needs to be adjusted in time. At the same time, when exercising, you must do it according to your own situation. Don't copy others'. Everyone's physique is different, otherwise you will go further and further on the wrong fitness road.

Third, pay attention to the frequency of exercise.

Even professional athletes don't exercise every day, let alone not professional athletes, "haste makes waste", so does fitness. So the frequency of fitness is three to five times a week at most. If you exercise every day, not only can you not achieve any fitness effect, but you may even do some harm to the human body. Exercise three to five times a week is also a priority. For example, the first exercise can be the legs, the second exercise can be the abdomen, and the third exercise can be the upper limbs.

Fitness is not how to practice as you want, but needs a targeted exercise plan. Only through detailed planning, targeted planning and constant persistence, whether you want to lose weight or gain muscle, you can achieve the expected results. Blind fitness will get farther and farther away from your fitness goals, and eventually even lead to loss of confidence in sports. Therefore, before fitness, first understand these three problems, then plan and then exercise.
