It’s never too late to do sports - every personal trainer can tell you that all doctors agree on this. It doesn’t matter if you want to burn calories, climb Mount Everest, or you just want to feel better and improve your health. However, there are some things you should know about fitness before going to the gym.
Firstly, it will not be easy when you start. Secondly, you may face “problems” which you are not aware of. That’s why you should know some facts that may happen to you and your body while doing sports.
A lot of people think that daily physical training leads to fast fat loss. But it’s not true. More precisely, that’s not entirely true. Fitness-experts caution that most people, especially men, at first, gain weight, and then get rid of it. However, weight loss in men happens very quickly: within 2-4 weeks. “Your body gains muscle mass, that’s why during the first steps, you might weight more than usual, even if you feel like you got skinnier. If you really have excessive weight, it will all come off finally. But don’t expect quick results, especially if you didn’t change your daily nutrition”, - says Business Insider personal trainer Dan Arnett.
If you want to take part in, for example, a triathlon competition or marathon, you may need a specialist’s help to optimize the training program and diet plan. But you don’t need a personal trainer if you’re just starting. You can look up some training programs for starters online. And if you want to, after 1-2 months of training you may pay a personal trainer to take your training to the next level.
According to fitness experts, one of the biggest misconceptions is that most people think training allows them to forget about prohibitions on nutrition and eat burgers or fried chicken wings any time they want. But in fact, if you want to get results and have an athletic body or just to lose some weight, you need to have a strength of will. You should completely review your nutrition, exclude all junk food and add enough protein products to your new nutrition.
You’re probably trying to achieve an ideal figure to be in better physical shape. But studies showed that physical exercises may improve your mental health - decrease anxiety and depression, and, of course, increase self-esteem. “Clients often tell me that training made them calmer, level-headed, positive, and more productive” - says Dan Arnett. In addition, you may notice significant improvements in your quality of sleep, which is incredibly necessary for our health, mental, and physical condition.
Of course, you don’t want to miss training, you might think it would ruin everything. But trainers say that it’s important to perceive training as pleasant and healthy hobby, no more. There may be moments when you strongly need to rest from doing sports. This is about moments when your muscles ache and you’re not to be able to get out of bed. It means your body is really tired and needs a pause in doing physical exercises. It’s very important to listen to your own body to prevent things which may ruin your health.
