Adult men's biggest fear is turning into Spider-Man

If you don't exercise today, you might become Spider-Man tomorrow. "Spider-Man" is characterized by a big belly, thin arms and thin legs.

Nowadays, many men eat and drink too much and end up with big bellies, which people commonly call "beer bellies". "Beer belly" is more common in adults. Some men have thin thighs and a belly like a pot cover. They can exercise but don't, so the fat is concentrated in the abdomen, and their body shape tends to be like "Spider-Man".

Liu Shu, an associate researcher at the Shanxi Institute of Sports Science, analyzed that part of a person's fat is "hanging" under the skin, and part is "hanging" on the internal organs. The big belly of an adult is a type of "central obesity" because the fat is close to the heart and is harmful. Not losing weight is a vicious cycle. The less you exercise, the bigger your belly gets, and the less you want to exercise. Nowadays, many diseases such as coronary heart disease and hypertension are on the rise.

In fact, some adults are also trying to get rid of their "beer belly" by practicing local weight loss, such as doing sit-ups. Liu Shu said that there is no scientific basis for local weight loss. The human body consumes energy as a whole and systemically. Just moving the abdomen without moving other parts will not help reduce belly fat. You should strengthen abdominal exercises while exercising your whole body to achieve your goal.

Liu Shu said that the normal body fat content for women should not exceed 28%, and for men should not exceed 20%. Men with a "beer belly" must have excess fat. There are many diet pills on the market now, which mainly reduce weight, but reducing weight and losing weight are two different things. Losing weight means only reducing fat, while losing weight means reducing fat and muscle at the same time, which has adverse effects.

Liu Shu’s “weight loss prescription” for the “beer belly” is: running is the most economical, safe and cheap weight loss exercise. But you should also pay attention to the following when exercising: first, the intensity should not be too high or too low, it should be moderate; second, the continuous exercise time should be more than 30 minutes.
