Can doing pull-ups help you lose weight?
Pull-ups can help you lose weight Weight loss mainly consumes calories, and there are two ways for the human body to consume calories. One is that activity consumes calories, and the other is that basal metabolism consumes calories. Basal metabolism refers to the heat consumed by the human body to maintain the normal operation of various organs and tissues under daily conditions. Pull-ups improve muscle strength by strengthening muscles. Therefore, the basal metabolism is improved, but it will consume more calories in daily conditions, and this calorie is also very large at the end of the day, so it is helpful to lose weight.

Pull-ups have no effect on losing weight, only help. It is unrealistic to lose weight by pull-ups alone or mainly. The human body needs to consume 7700 kilocalories to lose 1kg fat. Basal metabolism does occupy the vast majority of human calorie consumption, but it is consumed by various organs and tissues, and there are not many pull-ups compared with it. In addition, the heat consumption of pull-ups in exercise is very small, and doing a pull-up will only consume 100 calories, which is 0. 1 calorie. So, just lose weight by pull-ups, don't even think about it.
