What exercises don't build muscle?

Exercise is a way for us to improve our body and it is also an important way for us to lose weight. However, many female friends will be particularly worried when exercising, that is, they are afraid of growing muscles. If we do not pay attention to the method when exercising, we will grow muscles. Therefore, many female friends want to exercise but are particularly worried. So, what are the exercises that do not grow muscles? Let’s take a look at it together.

If you want to exercise without growing muscles, you can choose aerobic exercise.

Aerobic exercise refers to physical exercise performed by the human body with adequate oxygen supply. That is, during exercise, the amount of oxygen inhaled by the human body is equal to its demand, reaching a state of physiological balance. Simply put, aerobic exercise refers to any rhythmic exercise that lasts for a long time (about 15 minutes or more) and has a moderate or high intensity (75% to 80% of the maximum heart rate). Aerobic exercise is a kind of regular exercise that can last for more than 5 minutes with some energy left.

Whether it is "aerobic exercise" is measured by heart rate. Exercise with a heart rate maintained at 150 beats/minute is aerobic exercise, because at this time the blood can supply the myocardium with sufficient oxygen; therefore, it is characterized by low intensity, rhythm, and long duration. Each exercise should last no less than 30 minutes, and should be done 3 to 5 times a week. This type of exercise allows oxygen to fully burn (i.e. oxidize) the sugar in the body, consume body fat, enhance and improve cardiopulmonary function, prevent osteoporosis, and regulate psychological and mental state. It is the main form of exercise for fitness. Therefore, if you are overweight and want to lose weight through exercise, it is recommended to choose aerobic exercise, such as jogging and cycling.

Through the above introduction, we know what exercises do not grow muscles. This is also something that friends who are afraid of growing muscles need to pay attention to in their daily exercise. The above methods can also be used to achieve exercise without growing muscles. What needs to be noted is that when we exercise, we must also pay attention to the conditioning of our daily diet.
