See how to ensure your health and safety during the practice of physical activities
Workouts at the gym are positive both for those who want to lose weight and for those who want to improve their health. However, it is not enough to enroll and start practicing physical activities, as some precautions are important to ensure your safety. Therefore, Bruno Franco, graduated in Physical Education and Master in Physical Activity Sciences, lists 10 important points that you should pay attention to. Check out!
1. Consult a physician, preferably a cardiologist. He will certify your physical preparation, verify if there is any risk to practice the exercise and thus point out the necessary restrictions.
two Check that the academy is duly registered with the Regional Council of Physical Education (CREF). Brazil is the second country in number of gyms. So it’s important to check the establishment.
3. Check if the teacher who will accompany you in training is also duly registered with CREF.
4. Schedule the functional assessment to obtain a diagnosis of your physical qualities, such as strength, cardiorespiratory capacity, flexibility, in addition to body composition data (fat percentage and muscle mass), anthropometry (perimetry of body segments: arm, leg, abdomen, etc.).
5. If your goal is to lose weight, also count on the follow-up of a nutritionist.
6. Identify the activity best suited to your goal and, above all, that you feel encouraged to practice.
7. Try to hydrate yourself properly before, during and after the activity.
8. do not practice physical activity without the supervision of a qualified professional.
9. Do not resort to the use of supplement as an alternative to speed up the results. Seek advice from a nutritionist before taking them.
10. Be patient to reach your goals. Understand that it took you years to gain weight. You don’t want to eliminate everything in record time. The healthy weight loss recommendation is 0.5 to 1 kg per week only.
