Introduction of exercises that will NEVER shape up your body

Of course you don’t want to have a perfect body shape that will allow you to wear a tank-top and demimini like a super model, but you may want to have thinner legs and arms to look smart with your usual T-shirt and shorts.

For such desire, many people have started to exercise. The cool weather in the morning and evening provides the perfect condition for exercise, but there is something to keep in mind -- some exercises burn your body fat effectively but some are not effective at all. Today, we are going to share with you the exercises that will never shape up your body.

I will exercise everyday!

Among those who make up their minds to exercise, there are some people who plan to exercise every single day. Of course, it is possible for those who love to exercise and work out at the same time in a daily basis.

However for those whose living patterns are not familiar with exercise the plan to exercise on a ‘daily basis’ is relatively dangerous. Generally,, there can be a meeting with friends once or twice a week, and most of time, people simply skip exercise no matter how hard they made up their mind in the beginning.

Let’s exercise more than 3 times a week!The danger of the daily basis exercise is the underlying psychology that makes us to reluctant to exercise once and then skip a single day. Also, exercise may be regarded to be burdensome and stressful that many people eventually avoid doing it. Therefore, rather than setting a daily basis exercise plan, having more a practical and flexible plan like ‘exercising 3 times a week’ is recommended.

I will exercise only on weekends!

The employed men in the modern society often work over time that they commute to work seeing the stars in the morning and at night. It is hard for them to devote some spare time to exercise, thus, many people plans to work out during weekends. Also, they set a plan to exercise over for the weekend rather than setting an unrealistic and burdensome plan for exercise.

Exercising during weekend itself is somewhat positive because people “EXERCISE” as they planned; however, it is hard to expect the fat burning effect. In other words, it is no more than a light exercise that refreshes the tired mind and body.

Let’s exercise at least once every two days!
If you plan to exercise as a way to lose your weight, do exercise at lease 3 times a week with minimum 2 days interval no matter what appointment you have in order to shape up your body. If you really don’t have time, increase the amount of your exercise by walking 2~3 stops or riding a bike for commuting.

I will not eat when I exercise!

Those who exercise to lose weight try hard to eat less. Of course it is more effective to reduce weight when the amount of intake is reduced as well.

However, not eating at all before exercise as saying like “I will not eat when exercise!” is somewhat risky.. Exercising itself is consuming sugar, thus, exercising without having any food intake limits the strength that allows physical movement during the exercise. Also, it may cause severe hunger after the exercise so people often do binge eating and are tempted to eat more.

Start exercise about the time when a meal with moderate portion is digestedFor this reason, it is a good idea to provide necessary energy before exercise by having small amount of food rather than not having anything at all. But having too much before exercise or exercising right after eating may lead to upset stomach or trouble during the time of exercise. Therefore, starting exercise after a moderate amount of meal is fully digested is appropriate.

I don’t want to exercise hard!

There are people who do not want to exercise hard even though they aim to lose weight. For instance, if one decided to lose weight through jogging, he/she jogs 10~15 minutes and takes a rest for about 5 minutes sitting on the ground and repeats such course whenever he/she feels tired.

Nevertheless, the true effect of exercise, the real burning of body fat, arises when exercise gets challenging. Exercising little and then taking a rest is not helpful at all if you want to lose weight..
Let’s have some hard training for more than 20 minutes!Therefore, it is good to keep a challenging exercise for 10 more minutes once it is started. In case of running or walking, the true fat burning starts 20~30 minutes after the initiation of the exercise. No matter how hard and how much you sweat, go over this challenge to lose weight.

I will not drink water!

When you go to a public bath, sauna, or fitness club, you can find many young ladies who do not want to drink after sweating a lot. It means they do not want to recover the weight they lost through sweat.

However, a certain amount of water needs to be retained in our body. If one has lost a lot of water during exercise, it has to be replenished again to regain balance of the body, thus, suppressing intake of water may cause dehydration.

Let’s drink water as much as we want, and avoid beverages with high calories!
After exercise, the loss of water has to be replenished to prevent dehydration and balance the water level in our body. Therefore, it is good to drink water as much as you want. But drinking beverages with high calories like soda or soft drinks can cause weight increase, and therefore we should avoid drinking them.
