How to choose your sport. This seemingly simple question is in fact much more subtle than it seems. Indeed, choosing a sport is something important and must be taken with a minimum of seriousness. First of all, in order to choose the sport that suits you, you have to ask yourself many questions. What are my goals? And what are the areas of interest in which I would naturally like to develop?

WHAT ARE MY GOALS?

It is important to ask yourself the right questions in terms of objectives. Do you want to practice a sport activity to lose weight or change your figure? Or do you want to do it for health and well being? These simple questions will make it easier for you to make your final decision.

WEIGHT LOSS GOALS

Whatever your choice of sporting activity, it is important to know that weight loss occurs naturally when there is a caloric deficit. In short, you need to be in a caloric deficit, i.e. burn more calories than you assimilate in order to lose weight in the long term.

Among the sports recommended for weight loss are those that require a high level of cardio training. Cardio training exercises such as jumping rope, running or cycling are among those sports that put great demands on the lungs and heart.

HIIT TRAINING METHOD

Hiit or High-Intensity Interval Training refers to high-intensity interval training. This type of sports exercise alternates efforts and short recoveries. Hiit is particularly popular because of the high demands it places on our lung and heart capacity. The results of Hiit on the body are far from negligible as it accelerates weight loss.

WHAT ARE MY FAVOURITE AREAS?

This is a logical question but it is the most important one. Indeed, choosing a sport that you like is already half the battle. It is true that choosing a sport when you have a weight loss goal is important. But choosing a sport that you really like is even more important! Because it is the fact of choosing a sport activity that we like that will greatly condition the success of our objective.
