Look at the topic of fitness in Zhihu. There are many hot topics like "What's it like to lose weight", "How to lose weight from scratch for sports blindness" and "What's wrong with people who love fitness". The host also has his own wonderful experiences, such as sun contrast, telling revolutionary history, sun fitness plan, and dazzling half-horse experience ... In short, after watching it, it feels like watching a bloody Japanese drama. The protagonist was looked down upon from the ugly duckling, struggled hard and finally became a white swan. He met either Bai, and his last monthly income was over 10,000 or even 10,000. ...
Whether it is true or not, even if it is true, I think it is not good to read too many such articles. Older people should have experience. It is almost impossible to change the habits formed over the years with temporary enthusiasm. What's more, fitness is a slow, painful and persistent thing.
What is even more frightening is that in my experience, I know without investigation that many friends have caused acute or even chronic ligament and joint injuries because they are unscientific and eager to exercise. I have ignored my body signals and worked hard myself, resulting in medial epicondylitis left by my humerus (golf elbow).
These have a lot to do with our outlook on sports, even values and education. That's why my topic is "To you who never exercise (without seriously thinking about sports, education, wealth and three views)", because these are all related. When it comes to sports, it is actually talking about life.
Back to the topic, what are we doing sports for? Or conversely, why should we exercise? By the way, if exercise is so good, why don't you want to exercise in your life? If this topic goes deeper, it will involve biology, evolution, anthropology and other issues, so it will not be expanded here, and interested readers can consider it as a thinking angle. Here is a brief discussion about the purpose of your exercise.
I believe that most people's first reaction after hearing this is to "lose weight" or "hope to get in shape", which we collectively call "appearance school". Well, more specifically, what do you want to improve? So most girls will say "waist is too thick" and "legs are too thick". Boys are more looking forward to developed chest muscles. Abdominal muscles are popular recently. In short, just dress thinly and take off your clothes.
To put it bluntly, it is almost impossible for people with such goals to become bodybuilders. Because exercise may achieve your goal, but it is definitely the most difficult way.
Take a girl as an example. Suppose you are 160, 1 10, a little fat and round face. Your goal is to lose weight 15 kg. First of all, you need to know what this 15 Jin is missing. When a person has a full meal and doesn't have a big bowel movement, he will almost gain 3-5 kilograms more than when he defecates cleanly on an empty stomach. Therefore, you must weigh him in the same fasting state.
Secondly, moisture is also a big fluctuation error factor. Sweating more and drinking less will also give you the illusion that your body is lighter. So it is almost meaningless to lose weight itself unless you can honestly weigh yourself at a fixed time every day. My suggestion is to get up in the morning before going to the bathroom for breakfast.
Remove these two items, and the real problem comes. Let's do a multiple-choice question. Now you have two choices:
What would you choose?
Look, weight is a very unreliable indicator. Even if you achieve it, it doesn't mean anything, because you may have sacrificed precious muscles and health, but of course you are still not beautiful. There is a joke that you are pear shape. You think losing weight makes you a coke bottle. As a result, when you lose weight, you will find that it is just a faded pear.
Bodybuilding figure is a series of indicators, which ultimately reflect your physical health. The yearning for the opposite sex in our genes is precisely the desire for a healthy and strong body. And many of us are blinded by the "obesity" tree and can't see the unhealthy forest.
In other words, do you think you are just a little fat? No, your body may not be healthy at all, so you will feel ugly, but it boils down to a simple answer "I am too fat".
I still remember when I first entered the gym, I repeatedly stressed to the coach that I didn't have much dissatisfaction with myself, as long as I was healthy. Then I asked the coach, "Where do you think I need to practice?"
The coach glanced at me. "I think you need to practice everywhere."
When making a fitness plan, I pointed to the poster of bodybuilding stars on the wall and said, "I don't want to be like that." The coach finally couldn't help laughing:
"Don't worry, you can't practice like that!"
After so many years, as my fitness knowledge is getting richer and richer, I want to laugh whenever I think back to this conversation. I am really too young and naive.
Don't rush for success, and take "becoming a person with fitness habits" as the primary goal of exercise. As long as you keep exercising every day, you will get better and better, instead of rushing for success and then returning to the couch potato lifestyle.
Crossfit, also known as functional training, is a popular reflection and query on the purpose of traditional fitness training in recent years. Does the pursuit of bodybuilding in sports deviate from the essence of sports? Crossfit advocates that maintaining athletic ability and enhancing the motor function of the body is the fundamental purpose of exercise. Running faster, longer, lifting heavier weights, quick reaction and strong joints are all the purposes of exercise itself.
My fitness plan is more and more diversified and relaxed, and I am more and more satisfied with the results of fitness. I no longer pursue huge chest muscles and strong arms. Instead, I know more and more about my physical condition. I clearly know what I should practice at this stage, where are the weak links and how to practice.
The personal trainer in the gym has been asking me to have a physical examination and selling his personal training courses. I smiled and told him I didn't need it. I know my situation. This time, I believe that no one can know themselves better than me.
With the growth of my age, I gradually found my real fitness purpose in sports and enjoyed it. At the same time, I am also reflecting on the fundamental reasons that prevented me from falling in love with sports when I was young. I wish I had known this when I was young, so I chose to write these thoughts down and share them with my friends on the road to sports.
