Summer is just around the corner, and some people are alarmed to find that unwanted fat has crept onto their bodies, so it's time to start dieting. If you want to lose weight through exercise, here are some tips and suggestions that we hope will be helpful.
Do I need to do warm-up exercises before every workout?
Warming up before exercise is essential. Similarly, cooling down after exercise is equally important. While this may take more time, it's worthwhile compared to needing to see a doctor for a muscle strain due to improper preparation. Generally, you should jog slowly for three to five minutes before exercising to improve blood circulation and stretch all your muscles and joints to prepare them for the exercise.
As your body gradually warms up, you'll feel more confident exercising and less prone to fatigue. After exercising, don't sit down immediately; allow your heart rate to slowly decrease to normal. The correct method is to jog slowly for three to five minutes afterward, while also doing some cool-down exercises. If you experience significant fatigue after exercise, it indicates that your exercise intensity was too high, and you should reduce the intensity appropriately.
How much weight loss in one month is considered safe?
Under normal circumstances, losing about one kilogram per month is safe. Some people try to lose weight quickly by eating only fruit and drinking soup to stave off hunger. After a month, they may see a significant drop in weight, but when they see various delicious foods, the urge to overeat immediately takes over, and the cycle repeats itself, with the weight rebounding. Therefore, when someone decides to lose weight, they should choose a method that they can stick to long-term.
What is the appropriate time to exercise?
As long as you feel a certain time is suitable, that's your reasonable time to exercise. It all depends on when you feel like exercising. Some people are used to exercising early in the morning, some like to exercise at noon, and others like to jog in the golden sunset. As long as you're willing, any time of day can be your ideal time to exercise. The key is to stick to it every day.
