What is body fat

Body fat best defines what our body looks like. If we manage to keep this percentage under control, not only can we better understand the body, but we can weaken, or even better define our body in the force. When I got to the hall, for the Coast Speed season, last year, I had about 16% fat in my body. At a weight of 72 kilograms we were somewhat at a limit because the muscle mass was not developed. I mean, I was good at the state as a chair and so on. At the end of the season, I managed to drop to 12% and muscle mass to increase significantly.


So if you want to get FIT, muscle mass and body fat go hand in hand. And it's also true for weakness. But be careful about the exercises you do, but also the diet. An instructor and a nutritionist will help you better understand how to get rid of fat. No, if you dress up thick and run on the tape, you do not "melt fats" but you get tired too fast.
So, body fat is the body's reserve that stores when we eat more calories than it can consume. Set aside for black days. The bad part is that if you do the opposite, that is, you give the body fewer calories than it needs to eat, you risk burning the muscle mass. Muscles are the main calorie consuming, so your body will try to reduce it to restore balance. It is very important to do a body analysis, there are scales that cost 150 lei and can measure both the body mass index and the body fat percentage, but also a fitness room or a nutritionist.

40% - overweight, here are the increased risks of diabetes, heart problems

Over 20% - Slightly overweight, fat is visible especially in the area of the belly and hips, the body is not defined

15-19% - Normally, the muscles in the arms and thighs are seen, the six-pack is well hidden. From a physical point of view, fatigue is more difficult.

11% -14% - After me, it's the ideal area. The body is defined and has the shape of a reversed tribe, the muscles of the abdomen are seen. But this body is only obtained through a well-monitored diet and constantly going to the gym. And not during holidays.

6-10% - Athletes. And with that I said everything, they do not carry more weight than they need in any sport. This is where marathoners, sprinters, footballers and even Formula 1 pilots come in. You recognize it easily and after the face that it's sharper on your chin.

Less than 6%. Here comes a special category of people. They just have the vital fat in the body. But it's not sustainable in the long run. Those who have this percentage of body fat feel tired at all times, sleep very much and are constantly hungry. They can not focus on trivial things, such as reading. Ah, and at that time it would not go out (has and fat the advantages of it).

But if you just want to lose weight and you have not proposed an athlete, I recommend you riding a bicycle or using the paddle. Do not throw at high speeds yet. It's important to keep BPM in the fat burning area. For example, try the treadmill at 8-10 degrees to 5 km / h. All these devices already come with preloaded programs for weight loss. There are also rare cases when some can enjoy a body with little fat without moving, but at the same time lacking muscle mass. It is certain that the movement together with a varied and healthy diet can be beautiful in the world.
