“Why can’t I lose weight by playing sports if the training package is chosen correctly?” This question is asked by many people planning to lose weight through regular physical activity.





Causes may include a sedentary lifestyle, a lack of calorie deficit, and the growth of muscle replacing fat tissue. Nervous exhaustion and sleep disturbances can also be the reasons why the scale needle remains in place even with due persistence. As for the narrow reasons why the weight remains at the same level, these include the following:

1. Excessive load during training. The only desire will be rest. If you collapse on the sofa and remain in this position until the morning, your body will react to sports in a completely different way than planned.

2. Working out certain – the same muscle groups. If the goal is to lose weight, then there will be no result, since this requires strength, cardio, and aerobic exercise.

3. Burning too few calories. Exercises on an exercise bike, treadmill and other similar equipment, according to experts, demonstrate an overestimated calorie burning result of about a third.

4. Maintaining the same intensity and speed of execution. Indicators should be increased, albeit gradually. As a result, your metabolism will speed up and more calories will be burned.



To lose weight, you should train vigorously 3 times a week for 40-60 minutes, and for another two days choose moderate exercise: walking, swimming, dancing.
