Pros answer the questions you tend to have about body weight training!

Q1: Is it okay to do weight training every day?

Trainer: Mr. Taizan Matsuura
In conclusion, there is no problem. However, it is best to avoid training the same area continuously, as it interferes with muscle recovery. It is common to use the split method, which is to divide the training day into separate days for each part of the body. Roughly speaking, it is a good idea to divide the training by large muscle groups such as chest, back, and legs, and then combine the training of smaller muscles such as abdominal muscles, arms, and shoulders.

Q2: Can you build a model’s body like a model by just training with your own body weight?

Trainer Mr. Taizan Matsuura
It is possible to get your body back in shape even with only body weight training. It depends on your effort, but if you seriously work on it for six months to a year, you can create a model-like body. In fact, many of the models I know train only with body weight training. However, this also requires you to pay attention to your diet. It is not limited to weight training, but your daily diet has a greater impact on your body than muscle training, so if you want to build a body with a bang, you should also consider reviewing your diet.

Q3: What if I can only do 1~4 times?

Trainer: Mr. Taizan Matsuura
If you do not have the muscles to do the number of repetitions, try starting with body weight training with a reduced load level. For example, kneel for push-ups, put your hands on your thighs for squats, or do as many repetitions as you can comfortably do. And if your own body weight is too heavy for you to perform, then do the same, but with a reduced load level. However, there is a risk of placing a heavy burden on the joints, so it is better to incorporate weight training mainly with aerobic exercise. Let’s start by making exercise a habit!

Q4: Is weight training unnecessary if I’m doing body weight training?

Trainer Mr. Taizan Matsuura
It depends on what your goal is. If your goal is body make-up, weight training alone is sufficient and not necessary. However, if you want an efficient body makeover, you should do weight training. On the contrary, if you are doing only weight training and if you want to improve your body manipulation, you should incorporate body weight training.

Q5: I usually do weight training and feel that weight training alone is not enough. How should I improve?

Trainer: Mr. Taizan Matsuura
If the load is not strong enough with your own body weight, then make some arrangements to increase the intensity. For example, if you want to do push-ups, float one leg or lift up your body with your hands. Or, try doing gymnast-like movements or using the park’s iron bars to increase variation. Also, if you just want to get a pump, try doing high reps. If you do hundreds of reps, you will never feel like you are not doing enough.

Q6: How do I know if I’m “all out” with my weight training?

Trainer: Mr. Taizan Matsuura
To get an all-out feeling, it is important to increase the number of repetitions with each strength training session and know your limits. Then, push your muscles as hard as you can by doing one or two more reps than you think is your limit. Eventually, your legs will get dizzy and you won’t be able to stand up, or your arms won’t be able to lift. That’s the all out.
