Do you need to lose weight to build muscle?

In order to make their bodies stronger, both men and women now do some muscle exercises, because these exercises are not only able to better maintain the body shape, but are also good for health. In fact, for some people who are already obese, paying attention to some exercise methods can also better help them lose weight.

You have to reduce body fat first.

1. When you first enter the gym for a physical test, your body fat percentage will be measured. Based on this percentage, the coach should recommend whether you should lose fat or gain muscle first.

2. "There is too much fat on my stomach and chest. Do I need to lose fat first?" Regarding this question, if you want to "see" it, you must lose the fat. But in fact, even if you only do strength training, muscles will still grow, but they will be covered by subcutaneous fat and the outline of the muscles cannot be seen. I've seen a lot of people in the gym who lift a lot of weights but still look like they have no skin to them.

3. Excessive abdominal fat does not conflict with abdominal muscle training. Almost all abdominal muscle training movements can reduce abdominal fat at the same time. However, you have to maintain a high frequency and you can exercise your abdominal muscles every day.

4. The strength training cycle for the chest muscle group is long, and twice a week is enough. In the remaining time, you can go jogging. In my experience, if I jog 10,000 meters every day, my chest fat can be significantly reduced in a week.

After paying attention to the common sense and content introduced above, everyone should know how to exercise and lose weight effectively, right? If you want to lose weight successfully, the most important method is exercise, because we all know that this method is definitely safer and more effective than some of the weight loss drugs or products you use.
