Workout rookie refers to those who do not have systematic training and no exercise foundation but want to improve themselves through fitness. Guys like muscle mass; girls like shaping weight loss…
These people don’t have the experience of training. They either don’t exercise, or they just have a one-sec thought to exercise, suddenly go for two hours outdoors or do some sit-ups or push-ups. In this way, you will not gain muscle or reduce fat, but will also damage the body instead.
A lot of people have some misunderstandings about this:
1: Gaining muscles is equal to increasing weight
Muscle is an important part of the human body. It can be said that people without muscles cannot survive. Many girls may ask, ‘I don’t want muscles’, but they actually want to say, I don’t want to gain weight. But gaining muscles is not equal to increasing weight. Muscle growth has many benefits, improves basal metabolism, is conducive to weight loss, enhances muscle contraction ability, promotes bone synthesis, prevents osteoporosis, prevents certain sports injuries, and has a more beautiful body shape.
2: Gaining muscles is fast
Gaining muscles requires a certain amount of time and stimulation of training. It is not that if you practice a few sets of squat legs today, they will grow thicker. Many people, especially girls, are afraid of muscle training. They are afraid that strength training will make their muscle mass more obvious, think about it: If muscles grow so easily, do boys still need to train every day?
3: Only do training on those exposed muscles
The so-called exposed muscles are those muscles that look very strong, such as the pectoral muscles, abdominal muscles, deltoid muscles, etc… and simply ignore the function and core muscle groups for the purpose of training the bulk, what is the use of training a bunch of “useless muscle”? Functional exercises and core training can not only improve the function of the body, but also improve stability and prevent injuries.
4: Not training regularly
I think about it today then I practice a lot at a time. I forget about it tomorrow and do nothing. I believe many office workers are like this right? Muscle training requires gradual stimulation to produce corresponding muscle hypertrophy and strength growth. If you don’t practice regularly, there is no use of doing that, it is even better not to practice.
5: The more sore my body feels the better result I got from the training
This phenomenon is called “delayed muscle soreness.” This kind of soreness is not the more severe the better. The reasons might be: too much exercise, haven’t trained for a long time, or haven’t done enough muscle-relaxing work.
6: Lose weight through not eating food
Although we are saying that to lose weight, eat less and exercise more, but eating less refers to those that have less excess calories than normal meals, such as high-fat and high-sugar cakes, chocolate, ice cream, and fried, grilled food. Normal food and beverages are rich in variety, and more sugar, protein and dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals are also essential, sugar is the body’s energy substance, protein is a raw material for muscle synthesis and dietary fiber helps the stomach digestion.
These are the main misunderstandings an amateur may have for training. If you want to gain muscle as well as lose weight, these information is what you need to be aware in advance.
