The change of figure mainly depends on the change of fat and muscle. Any change can affect the external performance of figure, and the change speed of fat is much faster than that of muscle. There are many inspirational videos on the Internet about 7-day abdominal challenge or 2-week abdominal muscle training. Most of the contents of these videos are true, but one thing is essential: what makes the figure change obviously in a short time is basically less fat, and the muscles hidden under the fat are exposed instead of getting bigger.

Fat reduction contrast

The volume of fat cells can change rapidly (reducing fat is not reducing fat cells), thus making a person look "inflated" or "shrunk". It is precisely because of this feature that a month of fat-reducing training and diet control can often reduce the weight by 5kg, or even 10kg (mainly depending on the weight base). However, in order to see obvious changes in appearance, most people train for about 2 months, and only some people can do it 1 month.

The boundaries become clear.

Of course, reducing fat is not everyone's demand. In addition to having segmented abdominal muscles, many people want to look strong, and muscle gain is their main goal. Compared with fat loss, the speed of muscle gain is really too slow! On the premise of training, eating and sleeping to the extreme and being a novice in fitness, it is close to the limit to gain 20 pounds a year. If you are a veteran of fitness, the muscle-building effect that the same fitness program can achieve will be discounted.

Everyone should have this experience, that is, the weight difference between morning and evening is often three or four pounds, but can you see that the figure has changed? Maybe not. After a month or two of fitness, it is difficult to find out whether your muscles have become bigger while keeping the body fat rate unchanged. It takes at least 3~6 months to see the change of figure. Therefore, for beginners who are full of fitness enthusiasm, it is most important to keep their training enthusiasm.

Need to be reminded that the figure behind you just after fitness will deceive everyone. Many people like to take a photo after health, and then compare it with the previous photos, and instantly feel that their muscles have become bigger and their muscle lines have become clearer. In fact, this state can only last for a short time, which is not the normal state in life. After weight-bearing training, the muscles will be congested and swollen, and they will look fuller than before training, about 2cm larger than before training. Make the arm circumference thicker by 2cm in a short time? Obviously unrealistic.
