Body image is a topic that often causes one to think of teenage girls who are hungry and emaciated. But most people, no matter how old or young, have a sense of humor. This image is made up of a realistic view of the mirror combined with the knowledge of life, such as the image of our slim / perfect / slim body, as well as the expectations of what their “body” should look like. This "must" come from media images, parental influences, peers, past knowledge or anyone who knows….
In my many years of fitness training, I have seen one common pattern among new fitness participants. Many newborns start a fitness program to “live and thrive” and change a body part. Note that the phrase that applies here is a specific part of the body. For example, it is common for men to want to lose fat around the middle part ("love handles") and for women they want to cut at the waist.
Have you really seen other people in your gym? If you do, you will notice that many men do upper body and arm work and many women do lower body work. I recently assigned an external and internal thigh job (shooter / connector) to a client who is an experienced bodybuilder. Yet he had never practiced this muscle, especially because he felt that these tests were “for women”!
Yes, we’ve all heard for years that it’s impossible to “reduce spots” by exercising a part of the body, but emotionally this idea is hard to have ... especially for newborns. I can’t tell you how many times I gave someone a workout program and aerobic fitness style that started with enthusiasm, but at the end of 1 month it turned out that the gym was abandoning the exercises that did not guide the thought problem area. And replaced it with additional sets of exercises he did.
Now, take a newborn baby, get him to exercise regularly and regularly for about 6 months and get the start of a real body transformation. What does this mean? It means different things to different people, but to me, it means EQUALITY ... and equality is good. A moderate body system is better, more upright (this means better looking at your clothes), it can be trusted that we will do more physical activity for longer and better and are less likely to end up injured. Yes, the "problem areas" that a person sees change, but also all the problem-free areas.
The most interesting thing I noticed was that with this body change, the newborn is now genuinely enthusiastic about his changed body and has redefined the goals and expectations of what it means to change their bodies. And what a healthy body should look like. It is very common to hear female customers say that they did not know that their arms could be attractive and attractive, and that men would like to have legs that are not "skinny". These same women began to avoid arm work because they thought only of thin hips.
After six months or so, when new trainees begin to see the real difference, they talk about how they feel they have a real sense of accomplishment (it's hard work to get there, no doubt about it!). They start to score new goals that are surprisingly different from the ones they started with. These people are not just beginning to change their bodies, they are changing their thinking. The way they look at their bodies, or the way they look, is very different.
KNOW that they look good and feel good
GOOD
