This fitness project is widely recognized as beneficial, but in a group of 10 trainers, 8 will give up due to various reasons, ultimately only 1 to 2 can persevere.
Why do so many people easily give up?One reason is that they can't see any changes in themselves, believing that the effects of fitness are not noticeable on their bodies, so it's better to give up training instead of wasting time.
Once this thought appears, your fitness journey will be abandoned.However, our bodies cannot quickly lose weight or become 'stronger' or develop muscle physiques. Fitness training is like drug treatment, which requires a cyclical and time-accumulated approach to produce sufficient effects.
So, how long does it take? A young man's personal experience will tell you.
In 2006, a young man whose two years of work had transformed his physique like this (pictured), with a thick layer of fat wrapped around his abs, and his chest was soft and flabby, resembling that of a middle-aged man.
In 2010, during a seaside vacation, he still had a protruding belly. However, he still had no idea about the excess fat on his body.
Until 2011, as the obesity worsened, his chest began to sag due to excessive fat accumulation.
When he looked in the mirror, he suddenly had the idea of transforming into a good shape with eight abdominal muscles. So he hesitated for a few days before finally buying a gym membership and following various fitness WeChat accounts and purchasing fitness books.
At the beginning, he often had the urge to give up.But every time he overcame his laziness and started fitness training, he felt like he had taken a step forward.So he made a military oath to eliminate his protruding belly in 6 months.
In the first 2 months of fitness, he gradually increased his endurance by mainly running, improving his cardiovascular fitness and metabolic capacity. However, he didn't see much change in his physique, knowing this was a preparatory stage and not giving up.
Then, starting in the 3rd month, the young man adjusted his training mode, first doing 45 minutes of strength training, followed by 30 minutes of running. A month later, his physique began to change, his belly shrank, and his chest became smaller, which seemed to indicate that the fitness effect was quite good.
Later, he gradually shifted more focus to aerobic exercise on rest days and emphasized strength training, with each training session lasting 60-90 minutes.
By the 4th month, his physique had changed significantly, and from the side view, his protruding belly had disappeared, leaving only residual fat. However, his lower abdomen was not as tight, but this was already a qualitative leap.
In the 5th month, he transitioned to comprehensive large-weight training, with exercises such as bench presses, squats, and rows as part of his training menu.
A look at the young man's training dynamic chart shows that his strength had increased significantly and his body fat rate had decreased.
By the 6th month, the young man, determined to fulfill his six-month fitness success promise, made his final effort, combined with strict dietary control (low oil and salt, high protein, low carbohydrates). Now he not only lost weight but also transformed into a muscular, handsome young man with six abdominal muscles.
A look at his before-and-after photos shows that he was young by 10 years!
When he looked in the mirror again, he couldn't help but feel: six months of persistence are truly worth it. Fitness has helped him become a better version of himself, making him light and carefree, and he happily exercises every day, witnessing daily transformations. He lived a fulfilling life.
