Training is a very complicated thing, thus everyone who wants to do workout needs to have a clear mind about what do you want and what kind of training you need.
1. Why do I want to train?
Many people’s understanding of fitness, just staying on weight loss, it is too narrow. What we call fitness generally refers to all kinds of sports for the purpose of improving the basic quality of the body and shaping a good body shape. In general, sports with unique advantages in this area include equipment sports, running, swimming, aerobics, yoga and so on.
Generally speaking, we divide exercise into three categories: equipment exercise (anaerobic exercise), aerobic exercise (running, swimming, etc.), stretching exercise (yoga, etc.)
For these three types of sports, there are no pros and cons, but the purposes of improving physical fitness are different.
Equipment sport
Equipment exercise refers to strength exercises, with the purpose of improving body strength and increasing muscle circumference, it can strengthen the body’s anaerobic metabolism function and enhance muscle explosiveness. The exercise method is generally to use dumbbells, barbells, and some combined equipment for weight-bearing exercises. Of course, push-ups, pull-ups, parallel bars, and other activities that overcome their weight are also included.
Aerobic exercise
Aerobic exercise is what people usually think of as a weight loss weapon. But its role is not only to consume fat, but also has advantages in improving cardiopulmonary function and overall improvement of physical fitness. It can be said that people who do more aerobic exercise when they are young will not be in bad health in the future. Therefore, no matter why you want to start fitness, aerobic exercise is indispensable, and exercise alone can not guarantee the overall improvement of physical fitness.
The main exercise methods of aerobic exercise are running, swimming, skipping rope, aerobics, etc. The body metabolism is mainly aerobic metabolism.
Stretching
Stretching exercise has its uniqueness. Common exercise methods include yoga. Pilates also occupies a large part of stretching. By stretching muscles and ligaments， you can improve the muscle shape which it’s very helpful in shaping good body shape.
Finally, to summarize, we can say:
- People who aim to become stronger, mainly do equipment exercise;
- People who want to improve their physical fitness, focus more on aerobics;
- People who love beauty, those who aim to shape the body, and girls can do more stretching exercises.
The point is! The point is! Regardless of the purpose, these three kinds of sports are all needed, only slightly different in distribution.
2. How to choose a fitness program?
After clarifying your fitness goals, you may know what type of exercise you should focus on. But in the face of so many fitness programs, rookies must be confused again. For example, aerobic exercise, should I choose to run or swim?
In fact, no matter what you choose, the most basic problem is that you can persist. It doesn’t matter if you only do dumbbell exercises, as long as you can persist, it can also play a very good effect. There are two aspects to persist:
- First, choose the sport you like.
- Second, the objective environment allows you to exercise for a long time.
The other point is the arrangement of time and intensity. It is best not to exceed one and a half hours for each practice. For rookies, the rest period between the groups should not be too long. It should not exceed two minutes at most.
Make a good plan, bring your towels, water and sports equipment, and let’s do it!
