The experts told about slowing weight loss habits

Experts from Shape magazine talked about the habits that slow down weight loss. This was reported on the publication’s website.

Experts noted that holding your breath during exercise reduces their effectiveness. In addition, the effectiveness decreases if, when performing exercises on simulators, you put on its handles in cases where this is not provided for by the technique of performing the movement. For example, do not hold on to the handrails while exercising on the treadmill. In this case, the load is shifted to the shoulders and back, which also increases the risk of injury.

To avoid injury and breaks in training, experts recommend warm-ups and cool-downs. It is also wrong, according to them, to do strength training every day, especially if you work with large weights. You can do such exercises no more than every other day.

Another possible mistake when losing weight, according to experts, is starvation and refusal of water. “If you don’t drink during aerobics or other active workouts, you can overheat the body,” they explain, adding that during the activity you need to drink every 15-20 minutes, and after it, snack on carbohydrate-rich foods, such as bananas.

Previously, Michelle Olson, professor of exercise physiology at Auburn University, gave advice on how to quickly recover from exercise. Stretching and a warm bath will help to relax the muscles and avoid pain the next day, according to the specialist.
