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!
