Body weight training vs weight training, what's the difference?
Many young ladies who have just turned their attention to exercise most probably have had questions about bodyweight and weight training. what's the difference what benefit It's confusing as to what we should pick out. Today I have an answer for you.
⭐️ Body weight training
It is an exercise that uses your own weight as resistance. Help strengthen the strength of the muscles. Helps to tighten muscles Good fat loss Prevent loss of muscle mass. Suitable for newbies who are just starting out in exercise. because you don't need any equipment other than your own body
It is also a basic exercise that we should do before starting heavy lifting. But bodyweight exercises can be more difficult by adding complex movements that use multiple muscles and joints.
Strength
⁃ Can be issued anywhere
⁃ No equipment required
⁃ takes up less space
⁃ Reduce the risk of injury from using the wrong equipment.
⁃ Save time
⁃ cost savings
Bodyweight exercise reduces the pretense of newbies who think training requires a lot of equipment. There must be an exit area. Or have to go out to the gym only
Anyone who wants to start designing without overthinking can choose. "Bodyweight training" can do it.
⭐️ Weight training
Is an exercise with external weights as resistance (such as dumbbells, barbells, and various machines) to help develop muscle strength after the body becomes accustomed to using only body weight as resistance. help build muscle and prevent the loss of muscle mass as well
Suitable for people who have some exercise background or have no basics, they can leave but should start practicing from the basic position first.
Weight training exercises can add more and more weight to the lift as the strength of the muscles increases. Therefore, it helps to increase muscle mass better than bodyweight training.
But there should be someone to help save and help watch the form while playing correctly to reduce the risk of injury to muscles and joints.
Strength
⁃ Able to exercise in specific postures as well
⁃ No weight limit Increase resistance as much as the body can move.
⁃ A lot of equipment allows us to design programs in many forms.
⁃ Helps to build good muscles
But most of these exercises will have additional expenses such as fitness fees, and trainer fees.
equipment cost For people who like to exercise in the presence of people, it can be considered an advantage. because it helps us to be alert and more active when being in an environment where people come to exercise Help us fill the light well.
For girls who are starting to exercise and are afraid that their muscles will be big. Let me tell you that both exercises don't make our muscles grow that much and that fast. For women to have large muscles, I can tell you that it's very difficult. requires many factors One is because a woman's body has very little testosterone (testosterone), which is a hormone that helps build muscle. enlarge muscle. In addition to hormones, it also depends on the amount of food you eat. that is appropriate enough to build and increase muscle size And also need to lift weights using more weight according to the muscle building program. appropriate and correct
It's not easy to see bodybuilders with beautiful muscles and large sizes. must rely on very strict discipline Including goals and planning well with me So girls don't have to worry that lifting weights will make their muscles bigger.
All in all, both exercises have different and similar advantages. We can choose a form of exercise that is convenient for us. according to the goals that we have set. Or choose to choose both designs, it's not wrong. For example, on days when there is little time and no time to go to the gym, we choose to design body weights at home first. It takes a short time but can burn a lot. When we have time, we can go to the gym to do heavier weights to gain muscle or run on the treadmill to burn more energy. Let's just exercise regularly according to our plan. We will reach the goal easily.
