15 facts you didn't know about FITNESS

in #fitness6 years ago

In fitness theres is a lot to learn, and that's why I want to leave these curious data so that they can learn more every day about this lifestyle.

  1. Women have almost twice as much fat as men because of genetic issues, to make us more fertile and able to breastfeed, and they have almost twice as much muscle as we do. This, together with the hormonal differences, puts them at an advantage.

  2. 1 kilo (3 lbs) of fat equals 7,000 calories, and to lose 1 kilo you must create a caloric deficit between diet and exercise.

  3. Training weights helps eliminate visceral fat.

  4. 1 kilo of muscle helps you burn 100 calories at rest.

  5. The only exercise in which you can hold your breath is swimming, the rest you must take care of breathing.

  6. Women do not get great training with weights because we do not have enough testosterone, on the contrary, training with weights is great because they help us eliminate flaccidity.

  7. 70% of everything is alimentation. Do not overestimate what you burn, 4 slices of pizza nullify almost 2 hours of exercise.

  8. Abdominal exercises do not remove the belly, only strengthen the muscle hidden under the layer of fat that is only lost with diet and cardiovascular exercise.

  9. Fruits count as carbohydrates, they are high in a simple sugar called fructose.

  10. Quinoa is a pseudo-grain that contains all the essential amino acids.

  11. Every cellular process in the body requires water, including the burning of fat, 75% of our muscles are composed of it.

  12. You are what you eat, literally. Every day you lose billions of cells that are re-formed based on what you eat.

  13. Compound exercises that work several large muscles at once are better for increasing muscle mass and burning more calories. Some of them are squats, deadlifts, push-ups, etc.

  14. Each can of soda / soda has approximately 12 teaspoons of sugar.

  15. Every time you eat a product high in simple sugar interrupts the burning of fat, it is easier for the body to burn sugar than fat.
