Do I need to lose weight first to train my abdominal muscles?

For some obese people, they all want to lose weight and exercise their abdominal muscles through fitness. However, when these obese friends are exercising, they don’t know whether they need to lose weight before exercising their abdominal muscles, so they have been delaying the exercise. So, do you need to lose weight before exercising your abdominal muscles? For the answer to this question, please continue to read the following introduction.

Let's first analyze this problem. This fitness friend wants to lose fat and then build muscle. It can be seen that this friend thinks that he still has too much fat, but he also wants to build muscles.

If a fitness enthusiast is obese but wants to build muscles, there are two ways to do it. The first method is to lose weight first and then build muscle. The second method is to build muscle first and then lose weight.

In fact, neither of the above two methods is good or bad. As long as the fitness training method is suitable for you, it is good. However, this article provides some suggestions for friends who are in the same situation, which can be used as a reference.

If you are a very fat person, with a fat content of more than 30% for men and more than 40% for women. If you want to lose weight and build muscle, then I suggest you use the first method, lose weight first and then build muscle. Why is this suggested? Because for people who are too fat, it is recommended to lose weight first at the beginning of fitness, do more aerobic exercise to improve their cardiopulmonary capacity, improve their physical fitness, and prepare for muscle training in the later stage.

If you are not that fat, the fat content for men is 20% and for women is 30%. If you want to lose weight and build muscle, then I suggest you use the second method, which is to build muscle first and then lose weight. Because for a person who is not very fat, improving muscle quality and increasing muscle content can not only have the effect of muscle training, but also achieve the purpose of weight loss.

The answer to the question of whether you need to lose weight before training your abdominal muscles has been introduced in detail above. I believe that now you should have a deeper understanding and knowledge. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Here I would like to remind friends who want to lose weight and train their abdominal muscles that no matter whether you want to lose weight or train your abdominal muscles, you need to persist in doing it with all your heart.
