Five common misunderstandings among fitness beginners

　　Some people who are new to bodybuilding do not understand the characteristics and rules of bodybuilding, or they have some misconceptions, or they copy other people's ideas. exercise Methods often lead to misunderstandings, which shake the confidence in continuing to exercise. To this end, we have listed some common misconceptions and methods to help some beginners avoid these common mistakes. 　　

    1. Only train the muscles you are interested in

　　Many people do chest press exercises and then biceps exercises as soon as they arrive at the gym. This is the same thing every time. It seems that having bulging chests and thick arms means being fit. This is a misconception. Bodybuilding exercises require the comprehensive and coordinated development of muscles in all parts of the body to create a healthy body shape. Therefore, beginners must pay attention to fully exercising every muscle in the body and cannot "specialize". Otherwise, not only will they not achieve the goal of building a strong body, but they will develop deformities.

　　2. The more advanced the equipment, the more effective it is in developing muscles?

　　Beginners are often interested in mechanical equipment (combination equipment) and ignore barbells and dumbbells. In fact, barbells and dumbbells are the most basic and effective equipment for bodybuilding exercises, while mechanical equipment is an effective supplement to basic equipment and basic movements. Beginners should first use basic equipment and practice basic movements, and then use combined equipment.

    3. Copy the training methods of intermediate and advanced athletes

　　Beginners envy some accomplished bodybuilders and often have doubts about their own training methods, and then imitate their training methods. As a result, due to different physical conditions and training levels, improper methods often backfire and are counterproductive. For beginners, the main goal should be to develop the strength and circumference of the whole body muscles, and adopt targeted, step-by-step scientific training methods. If you blindly use group training or heavy weight training, not only will the effect be insignificant, but you will also be prone to injury.

　　4. No warm-up exercises

　　Many people grab the equipment and practice as soon as they arrive at the gym, and then leave after practicing. On the surface it looks like it saves time, but it actually doesn't. Because warm-up exercises can stretch muscles, tendons and joints, speed up blood circulation, and prepare the body for training, so that you will not be injured due to sudden force during training. In addition, warm-up exercises can also help improve training efficiency and effectiveness. Therefore, taking the time to warm up is worthwhile and must be done. After each exercise, you should also do breathing exercises to speed up the elimination of fatigue.

    5. Ignore the accuracy of movements

　　Some people pay special attention to the weight of the exercise and the number of movements, and do not pay much attention to whether the movements are deformed and not in place. The effect of bodybuilding training not only depends on the weight of the weight and the number of movements, but also depends on whether the muscles being trained are directly stressed and stimulated. If the movements are deformed or not in place, and the muscles to be trained are not or only partially stressed, the training effect will be insignificant or even deviated.
