How to exercise to lose weight?
First, strength training.

Strength training will build muscles, and more muscles will help you burn more calories-even if you do nothing but sit. Strength training is the most critical part of every project, not just emphasizing long-term slimming.

Think of it this way: from a metabolic point of view, you can see that muscles are "thirsty". The more muscles you have, the more fuel you need. If your goal is to lose fat, then this is the benefit that strength training can provide you.

Treadmills and air walkers are generally considered to be the fastest ways to eliminate body fat. If your goal is to improve cardiovascular health, increase endurance or just burn extra calories, then they are certainly feasible, but strength training is the most powerful ally.

Many people have misunderstandings about the reasons why strength training causes big men. Testosterone in women is only one tenth of that in men, and testosterone is the key substance in the process of muscle building. Therefore, even if you exercise as hard as men, lift the same weight and consume the same calories, you won't see the same muscle gain effect. Although women can also build muscles, they will be the long and fat-free muscles that women expect, not the bloated large muscles. Obviously, such muscles are more beautiful for women.

Second, aerobic exercise recommendation: jogging

When jogging, keep your upper limbs relaxed and your lower limbs elastic to prevent injury. Jogging posture doesn't have to be like a professional athlete, as long as you exercise at a relaxed speed. Relax your shoulders and avoid having breasts. Natural swing arm, even breathing, two-step or three-step breathing, is conducive to regulating lung function. Lean forward in a natural and comfortable range. If you lean forward too much, it will increase the burden on your back muscles; If you lean back, it will lead to excessive tension in the chest and abdomen muscles. Don't shake your torso from side to side or fluctuate too much. Send your hips naturally when your legs swing forward, and pay attention to the rotation and relaxation of your hips. Legs and knees swing forward and straighten, instead of lifting up. Lateral movement is easy to cause knee injury. Don't cross the calf too far, so as not to strain the achilles tendon due to excessive stress. Pay attention to the cushioning of calf muscles and achilles tendon when landing. When your feet touch the ground, gently touch the ground with your forefoot.
