Can passive exercise lose weight?
Passive sports refers to sports that are completely assisted by external forces, usually with the help of machines or others, and the athletes themselves do not exert their strength. In the past, passive exercise has been used for the rehabilitation of patients with cerebral thrombosis and hemiplegia (or other diseases). Now it is borrowed by some people to lose weight. As we all know, exercise is the best way to lose weight, but regular, regular and intense exercise discourages many people who want to lose weight. So the so-called "lazy diet" of "passive exercise" came into being. However, passive exercise to lose weight is just an illusory deception.

Exercise can lose weight, because exercise consumes energy (fat is energy). Why do sports consume energy? That's because during exercise, human muscles contract hard to do work, thus generating mechanical energy (for consumption). In the process of passive movement, human muscles don't contract or contract but don't exert force, that is, muscles don't do work, so they don't produce mechanical energy, that is, there is no energy consumption. No energy consumption, of course, does not help to lose weight.

Of course, some weight-loss institutions are still adopting comprehensive methods such as dieting or disguised dieting, a small amount of active exercise, traditional Chinese medicine and health care products. , may eventually have the effect of losing weight. However, at this time, "passive exercise" is just a cover, and what really works is actually other methods.

In short, there is no shortcut to lose weight. Eat less high-energy food, exercise more, do more housework, do more manual work, be less greedy and be more diligent, and "keep your mouth shut and take your legs" is the fundamental.

Finally, I want to say an offensive word: if you are fat but don't want to lose weight, there is nothing to blame, it's your choice; But if you want to lose weight, but you don't want to take the right (usually laborious) method, you would rather take those illusory (usually more comfortable) methods, which is stupid!
