Can fitness help you lose weight?

Many people ask if fitness can help you lose weight? Although you won’t see the effect of losing weight through fitness in the short term, and it won’t be as obvious as taking diet pills, as long as you stick to it for a long time, you will notice changes in your body shape. What’s more important is that this method of weight loss is not only harmless to your health, but also has a health-care effect. Your health will get better and better over time.

1. Push-up leg raise

Get into a push-up position, but place your forearms flat on the ground in front of you, locking your shoulders and keeping your spine straight. Lift your left leg and right hand at the same time, straighten them off the ground, hold for about 3 seconds, then return to the original position. Do 20 movements in a set, and switch to the other leg and arm after completing a set.

2. Weighted Lateral Raise

Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a bucket of water in each hand (the weight depends on your personal situation). Bend your elbows slightly and slowly lift the bucket to shoulder height in a sideways position. Hold for a few seconds, then slowly lower your arms. Note: The movements and recovery must be slow, otherwise the exercise effect will be halved. 15 movements per set.

3. Weighted lunge squat

Find a box or a few boards together, put one foot on it, take a big step forward with the other foot, and hold a heavy object in front of your chest with both hands (you can put half a dozen bottles of mineral water in your travel bag). Bend both legs at the same time, squat down into a lunge, and then return to the starting position. 15 movements form a group, and after completing a group, change the position of your feet.

4. Sliding push-ups

Needless to say, I learned push-ups when I was in middle school. Here I'm going to talk about a push-up that's more difficult: place a piece of paper or cloth under each palm - to reduce the coefficient of friction. While supporting your body, slowly slide your hands relative to each other and bring them closer together, and then restore your body and hands. How about it? It’s not so easy this time, right? 20 in a group.

5. Single Leg Arm Support

Find a chair, place your hands on the edge of the seat to support your upper body weight, bend one leg and stretch the other leg forward. Using the strength of your arms and one leg to support yourself, slowly lower your body until your upper arms are parallel to the ground, then slowly return to the original position. Do 15 movements in a set, and change legs after completing a set.

I believe everyone is clear about whether fitness can help lose weight. Having a good figure always requires effort, so don't take shortcuts. Any methods that are detrimental to your health should not be adopted, and long-term physical exercise can also effectively improve your physical condition. Having a good figure on the premise of good health will make you more elegant.
