In the process of daily fitness, many girls always do aerobic exercise for fear of excessive muscle growth, while neglecting strength training. In fact, this is very unscientific. The main function of pure aerobic exercise is to reduce fat. If you don't gain muscle through strength training, it is easy to accelerate the loss of girls' muscles, thus accelerating the aging of girls. This shows that girls also need strength training. So, what are the benefits of strength training for girls? The following small series is a brief introduction for everyone.

The concept of strength training

Strength training refers to multiple, multi-group and rhythmic weight-bearing exercises. Through this exercise process, exercisers can improve the strength, endurance and shape of muscle groups, and strength training mainly includes weight-bearing squats, push-ups, barbell rowing and other actions, strictly speaking, anaerobic exercise.

Reasons for strength training

(1) has good fat-reducing effect.

If you just run in the gym, step on the elliptical machine and other similar aerobic exercises, the metabolism of the exerciser will decline because of slowly adapting to low-intensity aerobic exercise, and the fat-reducing action of the exerciser will soon enter a platform period, and the fat-reducing effect will not be very good. Therefore, if we combine aerobic exercise with strength training and control the frequency of aerobic exercise to a certain extent, we can lose fat quickly.

(2) accelerate heat consumption

Strength training mostly belongs to high-intensity training. High-intensity training can keep human metabolism at a high consumption level, which helps people consume more calories in normal exercise, thus achieving the goal of reducing fat quickly.

(3) shaping the body curve

Many girls want to have a graceful figure, so they will run wildly on the treadmill, but in fact, in order to shape the perfect figure curve, moderate strength training is the most appropriate.

If you are a girl, don't hesitate and struggle, and do strength exercises as soon as possible. Cherishing time means cherishing youth.
