We understand the mistakes that prevent you from losing weight during active training, together with the BODYART / FITNESS trainer Viktor Kostyuk.
Training is not hard enough
Classes are always an effort on oneself. Each next workout should be a little harder than the last. This is especially important for those who work on muscle mass, because thanks to the gradual increase in weight, muscles will grow without harm to the body, become more elastic, and a good shape will not take long.
Monotonous exercises
In order to reach your goals, you need to prevent your body from adjusting to the exercises you do during your workout. Try to diversify them and combine different loads, work out each muscle group and attend other types of physical activity.
Lack of periodization
Periodization in training is a change in the training process aimed at “facilitating” or “burdening” the session at certain time intervals. Excessive exertion and super-intense training can put stress on the body, which can be harmful to health. In the end, after a couple of weeks or months, it is exhausting and makes you want to step out of the fitness track without reaching your desired goal.
To avoid this, you can do intense muscle-building exercises to let off steam and recharge in one session, and smoother exercises to work out all muscle groups and stretch in the other.
Low-calorie food
Consuming too few calories and not changing the meal plan can lead to a stable adaptation of the body to the diet, stops the process of losing weight and leads to a “plateau”.
Therefore, you need to drink a sufficient amount of liquid (at least 30 ml per kg of body weight), eat properly and in a balanced manner, organize fasting and loading days, consume unsaturated fats and sleep for at least 7-8 hours.
