Why Don't Gym Workouts Lead to Weight Loss?
When women become gym members for dieting purposes, many probably head straight to the treadmill, don't they? Many women exercise on treadmills because they don't know what to do in the weight area.
These exercises are cardio exercises - the type that don't increase muscle mass.
Please listen while looking at the diagram below.
Basal metabolic rate accounts for 70% of calorie consumption in the body. How can you increase basal metabolic rate? The only way is to increase muscle mass. Unfortunately, treadmill running, which is cardio exercise, moves muscles but isn't the type of exercise that increases muscle.
Including these considerations, increasing muscle mass is the primary condition for diet and body shaping.
Walking, jogging, swimming, and water walking are types of exercise that don't increase muscle.
Moreover, these only consume calories through "activity metabolism," which accounts for only 20% of the body's energy expenditure. Even if you work hard walking for an hour at the gym, the calories you can burn are less than one rice ball.
To increase basal metabolism, which accounts for 70% of the body's energy expenditure, the only method is to increase muscle mass. This is because basal metabolic rate is proportional to muscle mass. In other words, if muscle increases, you become a body that burns lots of calories even when sitting still or sleeping, becoming a fat-burning, weight-loss-prone constitution.
Including these considerations, increasing muscle mass becomes the primary condition for diet and body shaping. To increase basal metabolism, which accounts for 70% of the body's energy expenditure, you can only increase muscle.
Considering these points, you can understand how reckless diet and body shaping through cardio exercises like jogging and walking at gyms really is.
Furthermore, cardio exercise has major unknown drawbacks.
In fact, data proves that continuing cardio exercise alone for hours every day reduces UCP3, the "weight loss gene."
Not only that, but long-duration cardio exercise risks producing cortisol (a hormone that breaks down muscle and converts it to energy).
You can probably understand what happens when cortisol is released and breaks down muscle.
Since muscle is the furnace that burns fat, you can't consume calories no matter how much you try to exercise. It's a situation where moving is just a waste.
Aren't you in such a situation?
Is cardio exercise at gyms still mainstream for dieting because of the strong image of models and talents?
In reality, they properly perform muscle-building training at gyms. They know that focusing on muscle that burns fat even when sitting still is the most efficient and reliable method.
Aren't there actually many people who continue walking and jogging but don't lose weight at all?
So should you do strength training at the gym?
Even though building muscle increases basal metabolism, if your neck gets thick or your arms and legs become muscular, won't you be unable to enjoy fashion as a woman?
For women, unless you're aiming to be a bodybuilder or athlete, you need to build muscle in inconspicuous places.
So should you do yoga or Pilates at the gym?
In conclusion, NO. Reasons here
And should you just do body shaping at the gym for the areas you're concerned about?

Body Shaping Methods
Many women think they should do more lower body exercises to slim their lower body! Are you also focusing blindly on lower body exercises because you want to slim your lower body? However, if the form doesn't match your skeletal structure, your hips and thighs might actually get bigger with muscle development. This is the dilemma of lower body exercises - even though you're doing body shaping...
From the extensive model guidance experience of personal trainer Toshiaki Ozeki, who has the #1 track record in model body shaping, it has been discovered that top models have developed what are called "model muscles" - muscle areas that ordinary people don't have. If you develop model muscles, you can achieve a model skeleton and automatically get a model body type. With model muscles, you can achieve the same straight, linear model body lines as top models.
Does doing lots of abdominal exercises remove fat from the waist? If you think so, that's a big problem! To conclude, body shaping is not that simple. Conversely, belly fat can be removed and the waist can be slimmed without doing abdominal exercises. To change a body that's hard to lose weight, you need authentic women's body shaping that produces results.
Slender, straight, thin stick legs - so-called model legs - have become essential not just for models but for all women in today's fashion-forward world where showing legs is mainstream. While model leg body shaping tends to focus only on making legs thinner, the key point of model leg body shaping is creating the straight, linear appearance of the legs.
In model body type body shaping, we reduce overall fat, change the shape of areas of concern, adjust posture and skeletal silhouette to straight joint angles, and organize body type lines. We polish the model body type by developing the same model muscles as top models. Finally, we add model body functions to achieve perfect finishing - this is true model body type body shaping.
To slim and beautifully shape your calves, you first need to objectively determine the cause of your thick calves. Causes of thick calves include: ① fat accumulation causing thickness, ② muscle causing thickness, ③ a combination of both. For cases ② and ③, body shaping that reduces calf muscle is essential.
While "pelvis" has become a standard term in women's body shaping and women's diet training, there are endless consultations about pelvis body shaping: "I didn't lose weight in a feminine way," "I didn't get a slender model-like body type," "I didn't lose weight at all"... Aren't you fed up with body shaping that uses the plausible-sounding word "pelvis" to obscure what's really happening?
Women with good posture are beautiful and cool. Good posture alone makes you look slimmer. Everyone surely thinks so. Even if you work hard to lose weight and diet, if you don't have beautiful posture, you won't look slender and your body shaping efforts will be wasted, won't they? In authentic body shaping, we don't leave posture to conscious effort - beautiful posture is achieved through body shaping training that changes the underlying skeletal joint angles.
Have you experienced doing upper arm exercises to slim your upper arms but finding that your upper arms don't get thinner? Or dieting but your upper arms don't look thinner? You might hear that you should do lots of upper arm exercises because your upper arms are a concern, but you've probably already realized that doing only upper arm exercises has almost no effect on reducing upper arm fat or slimming them.
Do you really understand the body mechanisms for weight loss and the systems that enable dieting? Is not eating the best way to lose weight? Is exercise unnecessary for weight loss? Can you lose weight by going to diet gyms or women's exclusive body shaping gyms? Does cardio burn fat? Foods introduced on TV one after another and exercise books lining bookstore shelves... The honest truth is you don't know which ones are really effective!!
