      You can often hear voices like this around you: “I exercise three times a week, and I run for an hour each time. After a while, the weight did drop a lot. But the fat around the waist has not changed at all. What's going on? How to remove this "lifebuoy"? It is really depressing to lose weight but not get rid of the fat on the waist and abdomen.

      In fact, this phenomenon is very common among junior bodybuilders. The problem is: with exercise Through aerobic exercise, fat will be slowly consumed, but muscle will be lost at the same time. This will cause a decrease in basal metabolism, making it difficult to consume the calories generated from food every day in the body, thus forming fat. Nowadays, people tend to sit down at work, so fat will accumulate around the abdomen and waist. The appearance of a "lifebuoy" is actually a very normal thing. After the basal metabolism decreases, once you stop exercising, your weight will rebound quickly. Even heavier than without exercise.

      Therefore, the way to remove the "lifebuoy" is actually very simple. Just follow your normal training plan. In other words, you should put the anaerobic exercise that exercises muscles first every time, and it only takes about an hour. It is required to exercise all the joints, ligaments and muscles of the whole body. There must be a holistic concept from the consciousness: exercise makes every inch of the body full of healthy , rather than just to exercise a certain part. If the goal is wrong, the result will definitely be failure. From a scientific perspective, there is no concept of localized fat reduction. Fat is consumed throughout the body, so training should also be done from the whole body to the local area. For example, if you encounter the problem of "lifebuoy", you can strengthen the abdominal and waist exercises to bring out more muscles in the deep layers, and then remove the outer fat through a large amount of aerobic exercise. This will make the body shape more standard.

      There will be some people who have been running for a long time and have lost a lot of weight, and have even achieved results that they are satisfied with. However, looking at the "life buoy" on the waist, it has changed from the big "life buoy" to a "small life buoy". Exercise has no essential effect. Therefore, it is recommended that whether you want to be healthy or build a perfect figure, you must exercise in a way that combines aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise.
