Strength Training Feels Good [Diet]

You don't need masochistic strength training.

You hate exercise.

But you want to diet. You want to tone your body.

For you, as an adult.

Strength training isn't painful. Moderate strength training actually feels good.

Unless you are a professional bodyworker, for adults who want to diet or build up muscle savings,

panting and pushing yourself to the limit! One more rep even if it hurts!!!

I don't think you need that kind of image.

I am confident that such a method won't last a second.

There is also a risk of injury without professional guidance.

Some even say that excessive strain on muscles shortens your lifespan.

The world's easiest strength training is fine!

For me, this video was a turning point for strength training.

And this one.

It helped me out during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I like swimming and jogging, but I hate strength training.

That's why I was able to keep it up, realizing that strength training can be easy too!

Furthermore, as I continued it regularly, my body started to change.

Wait, aren't my shoulders and chest looking a bit more muscular?

Even without pushing my muscles to the limit, and without overdoing it, it's really working!

Right now, I'm a fan of the Bullworker.

I bought this last year.

One way or another, I've kept it up.

Once a week. When I think, 'Did I do it this week?', that's the perfect time for the Bullworker.

Sometimes I forget. But if I'm at home, I can start it in a flash. I'm still at it.

Using this site as a reference, I train my shoulders, chest, abs, and back.

My elbows started hurting when I first started using the Bullworker.

When I searched for Bullworker reviews and blogs, I found that this is a common issue for beginners.

To prevent elbow pain, you should go easy on push-type exercises that target the upper arms and chest muscles. Be especially careful, as applying force while your elbows are bent puts a strain on them.

Also, it is better to train with your arms away from your sides.

If you think, 'Oh, my elbow hurts a little' while training, you should review your form.

Also, ice your elbows before and after training.

I wear this inner layer when using the Bullworker.
You can easily ice your elbows by wetting the elbow area with water before and after training.

I use the same method to ice my knees when jogging.

I am using the Bullworker while being careful not to overdo it and hurt my joints.

My elbow pain has settled down now.

For me, the Bullworker is a piece of strength training gear that I can easily start in seconds.

Since I want to keep at it for a long time, I am careful not to push myself too hard and I don't neglect measures to prevent elbow pain.

I also started drinking protein after my workouts.

It tastes too sweet when I drink the recommended amount.

So, I put in half that amount, shake it up, and drink it.

About half the recommended amount is just the right level of sweetness for me.

I prioritize being able to continue easily rather than focusing on efficiency when it comes to protein.

Summary

Even if you start with the easiest 10-minute workout in the world above, if you keep at it, you should notice changes in your body after about three months.

And you don't have to do it seriously; it's okay to have the mindset of not pushing yourself and stopping halfway if it gets too tough.

This is the 'Stop Halfway' shop.
The Maru-T is cute.

The trick is to keep going in small ways, even if it's just one minute a week.

When you start easily and loosely, your body warms up, your overall circulation improves, and you'll feel really great.

You will be filled with a sense of refreshment and exhilaration, just like after a jog.

If you continue within a range that feels good, you'll want to do it again, and as you keep going, your body will gradually change.

Let's have some feel-good strength training this year.

Finally.

An article I definitely want strength training beginners to read.

The reason you shouldn't just mindlessly do strength training.

The three-piece set of Yuru exercises I've been doing aimlessly for 20 years.
It feels good in seconds. You can do it anywhere. You can do it while lying down. It's the best.

It helps prevent injuries.
And as you gradually learn how to use your body, your posture improves. Breathing becomes easier. Your mood becomes more positive. And you can raise your overall potential. Plus, it's super easy. That's why you can keep doing it.

Yuru exercises. The name sounds super laid-back, but it doesn't cost money, you can do it anywhere, and it's the absolute best.

Bonus 1

My strength training history.

At first, I was taken care of by this.

The easiest in the world? No, no, it's actually quite formidable.

By the time you finish, you really feel it working.

Mariness, which everyone relied on during the COVID era.
The strength training series is good, but this one is definitely the one that makes you feel the most energetic.

And now, the Bullworker.

This product is made in Japan.
Manufactured by Fukuhatsu Metal.

I purchased the previous model, the Bullworker X5.

I got it on a flea market app for about 4,000 yen in a condition with very little signs of use.

It didn't come with an instruction manual, so I've been using this site to continue. It has a sufficient training menu.

A special note of caution for Bullworker beginners!

Be especially careful with push-type exercises!

Keep your elbows out while training. Especially for push-type exercises, it is best to start with about 50% of your strength.

Here is the innerwear.
It is excellent in terms of quick-drying, compression, and cost-performance.
Personally, one size up was just right for me.

You can easily ice your elbows by wetting them with water before and after using the Bullworker.
I use the same method to ice my knees when jogging.

Also, running shoes for your feet.
Asics offers up to 4E, which is the best choice for those with wide feet.
They also have great cost-performance.

Or New Balance insoles.
With these, you can even run in leather shoes.

If you keep these things ready at all times, your travel time can instantly turn into a gym session wherever you are.

And so on.

Before going to the gym, you can start by training in your daily life.

Bonus 2: The flow of my diet so far

I lost 4 kg in about half a year.
I did it steadily and stress-free in a modest way.

For dieting, I think walking, which puts less strain on the body, and using an exercise bike are good to start with. If you start running suddenly, you will hurt your legs and lower back.

First, I prepared a smartwatch.

I quantify everything—heart rate, calories burned, distance, time, PAI—and save it to an app.
Once you get used to it, you'll be able to roughly understand the calories burned from daily exercise and your heart rate from your breathing.
I also bought a body composition monitor.

With this, you can centralize all the values such as weight, body fat percentage, visceral fat, bone density, and muscle mass in the app.

Here are the shoes.

I've worn Mizuno and New Balance, and these are the best shoes overall. I love using the JOLT 2.
They come in sizes up to 29cm and 4E, so even someone like me with large, wide feet is very satisfied.
Shoes are also important for protecting your legs and lower back, so get ones from a proper manufacturer.

Exercise bike. This is highly recommended.
My best hot buy of the year.

I'm using this one.

You can start using the exercise bike in seconds while watching your smartphone.
One exercise bike makes for a home gym.
While watching videos or social media on your smartphone, you are burning fat the whole time.
You can build up muscle savings in your legs and lower back at the same time.

The exercise bike is 120cm high, and when folded, it takes up the space of a single newspaper. I made space for it in the living room where I spend a lot of time.

I want to pedal as freely as this.
If you keep at it, the results will follow.

I think the best flow is to lose some weight with low-impact exercise like walking or an exercise bike, and then try slow jogging.
If you run from the start, there is a risk of hurting your legs and lower back due to your own body weight.
Here is the video I introduced at the beginning once more.
All the basics of slow jogging are explained in this video.

I continued these three things for two months and lost 2 kg.
If you continue on the exercise bike for an hour, it's about 200kcal, and jogging is about 400kcal.
The more you keep at it, the more fat you burn.
Furthermore, slow aerobic exercise feels good. It's a nice change of pace.
You can relieve stress and avoid binge eating.
It's all good.
