Why do you need exercise

The reason for writing this article is that yesterday, someone forwarded me a piece of nonsense called "why don't you need sports", which was deliberately hyped with subversive concepts to achieve the purpose of marketing.

What is the author's first argument for "you don't need exercise"? It is he is in some gym, be taught by some private sales of gray goods when pointing out 3 bench press error, be caught by him braid, prove coach skill too water, good, look on this problem alone:

First mistake, does a bench press require the arms to be perpendicular to the chest? It's true that the trainer is brain-damaged, but it's not impossible. The narrow grip bench press, which trains triceps, can be done perpendicular to the torso without any problems.

Second mistake, do you need to touch your body when you press the bar down? In this case, if you put it in contact with the body, there is a risk of injury to the gleno-humeral joints, but if you can use the bridge technique and the shoulder blade is stable enough, it's perfectly fine. If there must be a question, why is it that the standard for every powerlifting organization is down to the touch of the chest?

The third mistake is the way the feet are placed on the ground during the bench press. In some powerlifting organizations, you must land on the balls of your feet, such as the IPF. We have to say the least, even if he don't pick a loophole in the technology, indeed, the coach is water, but the coach water in coach, or refuse to sell, but further more poking fun at domestic personal training level is low under a big deal, but how can he obtained "coach water, so you don't need movement" to this conclusion?

You don't need to go to school. You don't need to eat. His "you don't need movement" of another argument is that "because sports promotion metabolism, enough to lose weight so you don't need to exercise" the reason is, all the sports population represents the first, the purpose is only one "lose weight" say first argument the absurdity of movement can not obviously improve metabolism, in 2011 the United States was the source of an organization's research, in fact, this conclusion was supposed to be "promoted exercise that lean body mass, to improve the metabolism to lose weight without apparent role" know how big is the gap? What the somebody else says is, you exercised a few jins of muscle to be on the body, this bit of muscle raises long base metabolization to do not have how old help to reduce weight fundamentally, but the somebody else did not mention the effect of motion itself, metabolization which a few index will we have to measure?

1 weight, the weight of the consumption is big,

2 surface skin area, which is related to the maintenance of body temperature,

3 age, young metabolism is strong,

4 the heart rate. We have a very simple standard to measure overactivity, which is to know your resting heart rate first, and then measure your resting heart rate the next morning after exercise. If your resting heart rate is higher than your normal state for 5 times, you are overexercise.

See, exercise is something that affects your basal heart rate, which is your basal metabolism. Again, because exercise doesn't work, you don't need to exercise. This is ridiculous. What do we humans do for exercise?

That's the topic of my post today: why do you need exercise

1 to improve the quality of life, the human body in the survival of the fittest this major premise, the stability is less than the hundreds of thousands of years, and have ample food and clothing but only in recent decades, human beings are not adapt to the heat, and do not need to work environment, so the artificial simulation about ancient body movements, not help people maintain physical function degradation, is the guarantee of quality of life.

Maintain the body's motor function, and physical indicators, in order to cope with common life events and emergencies. Let's take a simple and crude example, but when a violent terrorist lunges at you with a knife, is it easier for you to escape if you often train your explosive power and run?

1. Maintain heart and lung, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health and joint health, stay in bed for a long time and do not exercise muscle atrophy, osteoporosis, as you all know, without exercise, you will lose motor function, you will be less good at exercise, you will be less active, and eventually your whole system will fail.

2. Relieve psychological pressure and cultivate a positive attitude. This does not say much, has experienced nature to understand. Objectively, everyone needs a certain amount of exercise to stay healthy. Subjectively, it's up to you whether you need to exercise or not. The direction of popular science is clear objective things, marketing things, will think for you, you brainwash.
