Individuals who are within 10 to 20 pounds of their ideal weight are the perfect candidates for SculpSure fat reduction. One of the most important things Dr. John Tang, MD wants everyone to know about SculpSure is that it is not the solution to obesity. Obese or overweight patients who wish to be eligible for the procedure should work with a physician or dietician first to bring their weight down. In general, proper exercise and making healthier food choices are what can help individuals lose weight and ultimately keep obesity at bay.
To help you start on the right track, here are some exercise myths you should be aware of:
1. Daily exercises bring better results
To be eligible for or to maintain results of SculpSure fat reduction, you don’t need to exercise every day. In fact, you could benefit more from your exercise routine if you take time to rest, especially if you’re doing intense, high-impact workouts. In a nutshell, your body needs to rest and it needs time to repair and grow the muscles. Overworking your muscles could put you at higher risk for injury.
2. The more you sweat, the better your workout
This is by far one of the most common misconceptions about exercise; that the more you sweat, the better your workout, which basically associates sweating with the quality of the fitness routine. This can’t be farther from the truth. Sweating is your body’s way of colling itself down. It’s not fat that you’re eliminating but water, which means you’re losing water weight, which is also the reason why you’d find that you’ve lost weight after a workout.
3. You can do spot exercises to lose fat in specific areas
One of the longest-circulating myths about exercises is that you can target fats in specific areas by performing specific exercises to help you lose fat in a particular area like the belly, for instance. There isn’t enough evidence or proven study to support this claim. What actually happens when you exercise, whether it’s for a targeted area or not, is that you lose fat from all parts of your body and not just within that specific area.
What can effectively help you lose fat in specific areas are cosmetic procedures like SculpSure fat reduction for a non-invasive option and lipolysis or surgery for the more invasive type of treatment.
