Overweight and obesity

One of the most common reasons that make women visit fitness clubs is to fight extra pounds in pursuit of a slender figure. Indeed, overweight and obesity have become quite widespread among the urban population due to a significant decrease in motor activity, along with an increase in the caloric content of the daily diet. How can visiting fitness clubs help in the fight against overweight and obesity? What is the mechanism of the healing effect of fitness?

Attending workouts in fitness centers, you have to perform various physical exercises. To carry out such motor activity, the body must consume a considerable amount of energy. Where does this energy come from? For this, the body has to digest nutrients in the digestive tract. If the released energy is completely consumed, the body weight remains at the same level. But if the amount of released calories exceeds the energy that the body consumes to exercise motor activity, these surpluses of calories begin to accumulate in the body in the form of adipose tissue. As a result, you begin to appear overweight, which later leads to the development of a pathological condition - obesity.

Obesity is characterized by a significant increase in adipose tissue in the body. A person becomes not only slow and slow due to the increase in body weight. This pathological condition negatively affects the work of many organ systems, and first of all on the activity of the cardiovascular system. The heart of a person suffering from obesity, wears out more quickly due to a sharp increase in the load on him. As a rule, obese people have high blood pressure, which significantly worsens the already spoiled state of health. And about the appearance, figure and attraction for the opposite sex, and do not have to say ...

However, if training in fitness clubs is an indispensable attribute of your lifestyle, then you significantly reduce the risk of overweight or obesity. By increasing energy consumption by doing physical exercises, you thereby "burn" the excess calories, preventing their deposition in the form of unnecessary fat tissue. And your figure remains slim and fit.

But what to do in the event that the excess weight of your body already exists, and, perhaps, a fairly long period? First of all, you should consult a doctor like an endocrinologist (specialist in the work of internal and external glands). In some cases obesity and excess weight of our body can be caused by a violation of the work of these or other glands. Such cases require serious medical treatment (naturally, under the strict supervision of medical workers). If, after carrying out the tests and consulting an endocrinologist, it turns out that all your glands are working normally and are not at all involved in the appearance of "extra" kilograms, then you can safely go to a consultation with a nutritionist and sign up for a fitness club (of course, if you do not have restrictions to perform physical exertion for some other indication). Restricting the caloric content of the diet and at the same time spending an increased amount of energy to perform physical exercises, we thereby artificially create a deficit of energy in the body. In this case, to fill the necessary calories in our body begins to consume fat tissue, thereby depriving us of excess weight and preventing the development of obesity. This is what the mechanism for getting rid of "extra" kilograms in fitness classes is.

The regularity of attending training sessions and the degree of intensity of performing physical exercises depends only on you and your desire to lose weight. But for a competent diet, it is advisable to consult a specialist. A nutritionist will help you plan your diet with the caloric content of the products you use. However, be prepared for the fact that, perhaps, you will have to give up eating your favorite homemade pies filled with jam or fried pork. But what to do - as they say, beauty requires sacrifice ...
