In the past, people used to run and sweat, or go to the playground to pull the horizontal bar, but with the popularity of gyms, now everyone's fitness equipment has changed from single parallel bars to barbells. If careful friends can find that there is such a scene in the gym, there are many fat people with beer bellies practicing squat or barbell bending.

Let's say fat. I'm really fat and my stomach is bigger, but I can still see some muscle lines from my shoulders. Strictly speaking, it's not fat. So this makes many people puzzled. Why do they prefer strength to aerobic weight loss? After all, it is difficult to consume too much calories by simple strength training. Even if squatting consumes calories, it is not as good as a barbecue after training.

In fact, the answer is very simple, roughly for the following important reasons.

1, keep fit and don't pursue thinness.

Although too fat body can make people look bloated and prone to health problems, there are also many people who do not exercise in pursuit of thinness. They just want to stay in shape, not get fat. It's better to have a little muscle line.

2. Compared with strength training, aerobic is too boring.

Why do many people hate aerobic training because it is boring, what's more, although some people look fat, they have great strength and practice aerobic training? That really doesn't make any sense. How can it compare with the sense of accomplishment brought by conquering 200 kilograms of hard pull?

3, the pursuit of fierce and strong body.

Although some fat people do have a body fat rate of more than 30%, they are strong muscles hidden under fat. It's really scary to walk in front of them with such a big size and a beer belly. What they pursue is a fierce and strong figure, and often their strength will be stronger. No matter in the field of fitness or fighting, they must be far superior. Once they want to do aerobic weight loss, their size and strength will decline.

Of course, if the body is too obese, despite its strong strength, there will be many problems, such as always sweating easily, even the problem of three highs, slow exercise, high proportion of estrogen in the body, and the overall body shape looks inappropriate.

Of course, it is undeniable that if you choose to stretch your legs, it is a process from comfort zone to discomfort zone, and it is also more difficult. Is it better to be a strong fat man or a muscular man? The author believes that no matter the pursuit of fierceness or beauty, as long as you are in good health.
