Is long-term fitness effective? Four misunderstandings about men’s fitness

　　many male They all have a passion for fitness, and some even go to the gym every day. So is long-term fitness correct and effective? I believe everyone is unclear. In fact, there are four major misunderstandings about male fitness.

　　Misunderstanding 1: Men only practice equipment

　　Experts point out that two types of exercise In fact, each has its own emphasis: aerobics is more about improving cardiopulmonary function, flexibility and coordination.； Equipment training mainly trains endurance, speed, improves body shape, and enhances vitality. Since men's flexibility is a natural shortcoming, men should do aerobics and practice yoga, which is more conducive to their overall and coordinated development.

　　Myth 2: The best time to exercise is early morning

　　Experts point out that exercising in the evening is most beneficial. Various human activities are affected by the "biological clock". Generally speaking, whether it is the body's adaptability or the exertion of physical strength, the afternoon and evening are the best. In the early morning, blood pressure during exercise is similar to heart rate They are significantly higher than in the evening, so it is not the best time to exercise.

　　Misunderstanding 3: You must stick to regular fitness time

　　Many people believe that they must adhere to regular fitness time to achieve good fitness results. In fact, just setting aside 10 to 15 minutes a day to exercise will help strengthen your fitness habits. If you have more spare time, such as taking two or three 10 to 15 minutes to exercise, it will be more helpful to lose excess fat. Studies have found that generally speaking, sneaking in every opportunity to exercise every day is more effective than sticking to a regular 30 to 45 minutes of exercise.

　　Myth 4: Repeated stimulation of the same area can enhance strength and improve body shape

　　In order to improve the muscle strength and shape of a certain part of the body, many men often exercise that part repeatedly for several days in the hope of "immediate results."

　　In this regard, experts point out that this method is often prone to damage to the area. The correct way to increase strength is to train the muscles until they feel fatigued, give these muscles some time to recover and rest, and then train the muscles again after they are revitalized. For example: If you practice the pectoralis major today, tomorrow you will practice the biceps instead of the pectoralis major.
