The first sunny days have awakened in people the desire to do physical activity to lose weight or tone up. Never before have I found myself working in the gym with several people whose primary objective is to get in shape for the summer . Given the many requests, I will help you with some tips to train adequately to achieve your goal. Costume test:
Obviously the goal is achievable if you need to lose a few extra kilos (8-10kg) , we are not talking about people with severe obesity, as these people need more time to achieve weight loss.
Six tips for passing the swimsuit test:
-
Be consistent
train with a frequency of 3/4 workouts per week.
-
Adopt a balanced diet
It is very important to combine training with a balanced diet in quality and quantity, absolutely avoid drastic diets or daily fasting because they can be harmful to our body and do not lead to achieving the goal. I recommend relying on a nutritionist and not improvising with do-it-yourself diets.
-
Don’t overdo physical activity
train for a maximum of an hour and a half.
-
Structure the training
The training must be aerobic (fast walking, uphill walking, elliptical, zumba, total boby) for 45-50 minutes and 30-40 minutes of toning exercises for the different muscle parts. I recommend relying on a personal trainer to choose the most suitable exercises for your body constitution in order to optimize work times and obtain clear results in a short time.
-
Use the heart rate monitor
For aerobic training I recommend using the heart rate monitor in order to work with a constant frequency, which varies from 65% to 75% , in order to burn a greater quantity of fat, as by exceeding this work threshold you begin to burn other energy substrates that are not useful for weight loss (e.g. sugars).
-
Don’t do too many sit-ups
Don’t waste most of your time doing sit-ups to burn intra-abdominal fat. Don’t do more than 3/4 abdominal exercises , because doing thousands of sit-ups doesn’t mean you’ll lose weight.
