Causes and countermeasures for the inability to habituate to resistance training

Everyone, have you ever started a resistance training,

but it doesn’t last long or you quit too soon?

In this issue, I would like to share three of my thoughts on the possible reasons and solutions for the inability to get muscle training to become a habit.

Not knowing how to do muscle training

I think this is what most people who can’t make a habit of it do.

The solutions for such people are,

・Study resistance training

・Get personal training

I hope to be able to give you information on recommended study methods and personal training in another article, so I will be brief,

If you don’t know how to do it, you can learn from books, Youtube, and online articles,

I personally think that studying muscle training is surprisingly time consuming (maybe because I am a detail-oriented person).

Personal training is a way to skip that effort by paying for it.

Other things that personal training has to offer,

・You can have your posture and form checked to make sure they are correct.

・It is a commitment to others, so there is a sense of compulsion.

I think this makes it easier for me to continue.

No change in the body, no change noticed

Quite a few people quit muscle training because they are not losing weight.

To begin with, the human body has homeostasis to maintain a steady state (the calmest state), and it is rare for weight to change significantly in a short period of time.

If your weight changes, it can be said that your body or mind is under a great deal of stress.

Therefore,

I think it is important to enjoy exercise without being in a hurry.

And surprisingly

There is a change in appearance,

Your weight has not changed, but your body fat percentage has decreased.

Please check your body fat percentage as well.

In terms of noticing changes, it may be a good idea to focus on the training itself.

For example,

・if you have been able to handle heavier weights than the last time you trained

・Same weight but more repetitions

・Same weight, same number of repetitions, but easier

・I could feel the sensation of working the muscles

There is always a point of growth in each training session.

This is a bit off topic, but I believe that a trainer who can find and communicate these points of growth is a good trainer.

Trying too hard

In the early days of muscle training, everyone is highly motivated. That in itself is a good thing,

・Injury risk is high in the early stages of training due to unfamiliarity

・Train too frequently and lose all motivation at once after a short break

This can happen.

Although it is recommended to exercise 3 to 4 times a week, I think

it is important to start out by enjoying muscle training at a pace that you can keep up.

summary

Learn how to do muscle training, notice minor changes in your body, and do it at a pace you can continue!
