Common mistakes when doing fitness

Fitness classes often start with questions and doubts. What to devote more time to - abs or legs? Should power loads be connected? And why don't abs cubes appear in any way?

"Cleo" will help you to understand everything and find answers.

We swing the press correctly

Where is the mistake? You do five hundred forward bends every day, but for some reason the stomach does not become flat. If you continue, the effect will be exactly the opposite: the stomach will protrude even more forward. This is because the adjacent muscles are rather weak and cannot support it.

How right. The press is formed in a strict sequence: first the upper, then the lower, and then move on to the lateral and oblique muscles. Finish the complex with exercises for the back. This is very important, because if you strengthen your back well, even the “life buoy” will disappear from the waist!

Do I need to pull the "iron"?

Where is the mistake? You hoped to hit everyone with your graceful muscles on the beach and were ready to work out for hours in the gym to do so. But you know that it is harmful for girls to lift weights?

Your body is the safest and most effective exercise machine.

The joints of the legs and wrists are under tremendous stress, not to mention the lower back: these are the weakest parts of our body. Although during training you do not feel it …

How right. Your body is the safest and most effective exercise machine. For example, when you lift both legs up, you use half of your weight, and when you push up from the floor, all your kilograms. The trainer will select additional weights only when these loads become familiar to you. Although this moment will not come soon.

And the weight stands still …

Where is the mistake? You have exercised diligently and ate healthy food. The extra pounds quickly disappeared, and everything was fine. But soon it stopped: the balance arrow stalled in one place! Although you are still actively exercising and not eating after six …

How right. First, excess water comes out of the body, along with it - the first kilograms. And only then comes the turn of adipose tissue. Add massages and a sauna to the exercise program: this is the only way you can burn excess fat. Such a powerful attack will benefit not only your figure, but the whole body!

Contagious example

Where is the mistake? You strenuously repeated every movement behind the teletrainer: you pumped your abs, did push-ups from the floor, waved your arms and legs. But things are still there - there are no slender hips, no firm buttocks, no effective press!

Exercise 3 times a week for at least one hour.

How right. A set of exercises for different parts of the body is just an exercise. And for a slender figure, a strictly systematic approach is needed:

1. Exercise 3 times a week for at least one hour.
2. Devote each workout to only one muscle group: for example, one to the legs and buttocks, the second to the abs, and the third to the biceps and triceps.
3. Add new muscle exercises every month to keep you addictive.
4. Do all exercises without interruptions and pauses. And for rest, alternate light loads with more difficult ones.

Is it effective?

Walking. Walking at a brisk pace for at least 2 hours daily is extremely useful for strengthening the cardiovascular system.

Run. It is also a good cardio workout and muscle drying. But this practically does not affect weight, and not everyone is recommended for health reasons. While there are no contraindications for walking.

Exercise bike. Use for cardio and pre-workout warming up. But massive women should not get carried away with them - they can become even larger.

To create a beautiful body, you need a competent "sculptor".

Hoop. The hips and waist will become slim if only the hula hoop is weighted and you actively twist it for half an hour a day.

Self-study. By training without an instructor, you only keep yourself in shape, but the changes will not be noticeable to you and those around you. To create a beautiful body, you need a competent "sculptor". He will always show you effective exercises and the sequence of their implementation.

Group lessons. All people have different shapes, so the same exercises are not suitable for everyone. It is much better to choose an individual program with a trainer: some need to deal with excess weight, others need "drying", and the third - body shaping.

As you can see, the presence of willpower and diligence does not guarantee the desired results. Train with pleasure and do not make such mistakes - then fitness will become an irreplaceable part of your life.
