Training for aesthetics or health
3:51 PM
I will never get tired of warning between the difference
between training for health and doing it for aesthetics. With the first option
we intend to acquire greater vitality and energy, prolong youth, adding life to
the years and also years to life, and suffer less illnesses and discomforts.
Perfect, it is something that we all like and that is also practical, simple
and cheap! (The research has shown that people who exercise, regardless of
other care, live longer and are less sick, rates of work absenteeism grow among
sedentary, something that companies should observe, adding incentives to
exercise, because it would be more economical to reduce the losses due to
morbidity).
Training for aesthetics involves
transforming the body we have to obtain a better one, according to our wishes.
However, this second option is more limited than the first, since genetic
influences more here. The combination of exercise and nutrition produces a very
appreciable change, always according to the intensity and duration of what we
do to achieve it, although often it does not bring us closer to that ideal
prototype that we have dreamed of. It is impossible to modify the bone, joint,
muscle and tendinous structure. The disproportionate limbs, the
"short" or too "long" muscles remain that way for life. The
sensations of coarseness or weakness never disappear although they are
attenuated (We can all see large unattractive bodybuilders or even strange or
"ugly" forms, everything is inherited less beauty, as the saying wisely
states).
In
any case, it is improved, and much, enough to increase self-esteem and let
others know. It is positive as a value, and also - it may be that many ignore
it, but should not do so - as an enhancer of the immune system, which increases
appreciably when we feel satisfied with the possessed image. Some say that the
possession of a well-worked body is equivalent to the mastery of physical yoga
or another relaxation technique. I believe it and I share it.
Gym and a
smart diet
You already know, the best thing is to
combine the training for aesthetics -being "more beautiful" within
our genetic possibilities- with exercise for health -improving the capacity
cardiopulmonary, reduce the percentage of fat and control stress. It is
achieved without exceeding, setting reasonable objectives, in the short, medium
and long term, fulfilling these and without leaving after that career. And
there are no excuses. Twelve thousand gyms in Spain makes us now have one very
close to our house, or if we live in a tiny population entity, we have it in
the next town. And if we do not want to move, there are some home equipment
that can be coupled anywhere, even in a corner of a room. There is also the
issue of food, maybe the most important part of that binomial. There are no
problems to carry it out correctly. It suffices to consume the correct
proportion of the macronutrients, and if necessary add the appropriate
supplements for the moments of scarcity, weakness or special achievements
within a sport or activity or in the matter of the modification of our body,
either to develop it more or to endow it with the chosen slenderness.
Good food is everywhere -we can also
afford some excesses one or two days a week-, the best supplements in
specialized stores. The desire to improve, we must have it inside. Because
health and aesthetics must always be united.
In physical form inside and out. It's worth it and... it
just depends on you!
