Although practicing a sport activity is essential for the physical and emotional body, it is not so obvious to adopt the right method, the one that corresponds to our needs. Indeed, low-cost gyms - without advisors - are flourishing here and there in different cities and more and more people are taking up running to find a new lifestyle. By whom are they guided? Usually nobody!

Obviously, these very willing individuals are motivated and want to take another healthy step in their daily lives. However, playing sports without monitoring and guidance can sometimes be very dangerous to your health.

At the same time, losing weight too quickly before the summer vacations is not good. Too many people fall into a restrictive diet that leads them to accept certain trends that are very harmful to their health. Many vendors offer food shakes that are actually quite harmful to your health. Having analyzed certain well-known "meal" type milk shakes, they are often composed of sugars that have a negative impact on health and long-term weight loss. Although very effective in the short term for a visible weight loss, the results in the long term are often null and void if we do not continue to eat almost exclusively these "false meals". Of course, these pseudo-foods have absolutely no nutritional benefits, quite the contrary. Do we really need to argue about the ingredients of this type of drink? You only have to read the labels to understand that we are far from healthy values.

So let's get back to our sports activity. Practicing a physical activity should not be done without preparation. Indeed, there are certain rules to take into consideration in order to be able to last in the long term.

Advice from a professional sports coach

• It is important to start the sport gently and go at your own pace, step by step. There is no need to set up a program that is too heavy to start with. The results would not be positive at all.
• Don't hesitate to follow up or ask for help. It can sometimes be dangerous for your health to do sports in any way. Especially if you have specific personal goals.
• As far as weight loss is concerned, a personal calculation must be made by your coach. The goal is to aim for a heart rate that suits your needs. The fat burning zone is always at a well-defined heart level and is unique to each individual. Again, the right dose will have to be adapted.
• Although cardio is important, muscle strengthening should not be neglected. The latter is done with the help of machines in the gym. Also, note that it is useless to carry weights that are too heavy for you because it would be useless and could, moreover, hurt you. The result will be found in soft movements with light loads while gradually increasing the repetitions.

Some sports and nutrition specialists can provide you with what you need to validate your goals. It is a good idea to be followed by a sports coach who will establish a precise program while following you personally. This combined with a healthy and natural nutrition, without chemical additives and without meal replacement, is the best solution to lose the pounds that bother you. While these natural and healthy methods may take a little more time and personal investment, believe me, they have a much greater impact in the long run.
