7 facts about fitness, which the coach will not tell you

A healthy lifestyle is chosen by more and more people. To better look and feel great, many people choose fitness. But, as with any business, you need to do sports wisely.

1. A noticeable result will have to wait long enough

Do not expect too fast results from training in the gym. Those who want to lose weight by the summer or the New Year in 2 months are likely to fail. Of course, it all depends on the original quality of your body, weight, and age. In any case, you will notice the first results of the training in about 2–3 months. Others will see positive changes in your body no sooner than in six months. It is also important to understand that the key to success is regularity, the frequency of training and good nutrition. There will be no special benefit from two shock workouts per week. You can achieve good results with 3 power and 2 cardio training per week. And it is not necessary to spend 5 days a week on the hall. As a cardio load, it can be an ordinary walk.

2. It is not always possible to achieve the desired result.

If you have an image of an ideal figure in your head and you want to achieve such a result with the help of fitness, be prepared for the fact that this may not work out. Firstly, it is necessary to take into account the initial, genetic data of each person and the particular physique. Someone's muscles naturally grow better, and someone has a faster metabolism. In addition, many professional athletes and fitness trainers use special preparations to achieve the desired figure. Setting a goal unattainable with your data, you can not only lose motivation, but also acquire a not quite harmonious figure. To set the right goal, you need to objectively evaluate yourself, take into account your capabilities and limitations and try to achieve the best possible form with your initial data.

3.Usually 5–7 sessions with a lecturer square measure enough:

Trainers love to say that everyone needs a personalized training program and that you cannot compose it yourself. This is not true. You need a coach who will supply the technique. Usually 5 lessons are enough for this. Then you can do it yourself. After about a month and a half, you can take a few lessons from another coach so that he can check whether you are doing everything right and answer the accumulated questions. More trainer objectively not needed. Another thing is that training with a coach is more disciplined, but this is a matter of personal motivation.

4. Only basic exercises will help build a beautiful body.

It is beneficial for the coaches to keep the client around for as long as possible, so they often neglect the basic exercises and offer a lot of isolating muscles for different groups. But it is important to understand that it is on the basic exercises that you need to focus in order to achieve a good result. Basic exercises are lunges, bench presses, deadlifts, squats and pushups. Muscular corset is built precisely because of them. At the same time, basic exercises also have different effectiveness. It is important to empirically understand which exercises your muscles respond best to. For the development of the gluteal muscles, for example, someone is more suitable for squats, and someone - lunges. Of course, isolating exercises are also important, moreover, they are usually more interesting and more pleasant to perform, but it’s not worth being limited to them.

5. Sportpit is generally not needed.

Beginners who just came to the gym often believe in the magical power of sports nutrition. In fact, if you have a fairly diverse and competent diet and you do not want to participate in a bikini contest, you do not need sport pit. Even if the trainer in the gym will aggressively offer you protein or fat burner, do not give in. Perhaps he just wants to earn a little on you, recommending you a magic tool from a local fitness bar. You do not need a fat burner, and so you will lose weight. Proper nutrition, plus regular workouts in the future will give you a beautiful figure without any sportpit.

6. With the help of fitness is not necessarily able to completely get rid of cellulite.

The fact that there is no anti-cellulite cosmetics seems to have understood everything. But there is still a strong belief that regular athletic activity will help you to forget about this problem forever. This is not quite true. Any workout, strength or cardio, by themselves do not remove cellulite. Even if you train with high quality, but at the same time eat a lot, albeit a healthy meal, cellulite may well remain. There is also good news: if you exercise regularly and follow the diet, then cellulite will be much less pronounced.

7. To achieve a beautiful press, it is not necessary to download it often.


In the gym, many people like to rock the press at every workout, but in fact it is not so necessary. Moreover, with certain exercises, you can, on the contrary, only expand the waist. If you want a beautiful press, do not strain it purposefully. Abdominal muscles get enough load during basic packs.
