What special training is suitable for this?

Both endurance sports and strength training are recommended. Strength training can consume a lot of energy in a short time. In contrast to endurance training, however, it cannot be sustained for as long.

When doing strength training, you should make sure that all parts of the body are trained and that the exercises are performed correctly. Especially when training with weights, the correct posture is important to protect your joints. However, you can also train only with your own body weight.

Exercises that involve the whole body and not just individual muscle groups are, for example, push-ups, sit-ups, forearm exercises, burpees (push-ups in which you stand up and jump up after each push-up), skippings and knee bends. It is best to combine different exercises in a circle training. It is advantageous to choose a sport or exercise that you personally enjoy. This makes it easier to maintain motivation.

Why should I start for the bikini figure in winter?

The body’s fatty tissue is a very efficient form of energy storage. In order to lose one kilogram of fatty tissue, 7,000kcal must be consumed. On average, we have a basal metabolic rate of about 2,000kcal per day – women rather less, men a little more.

This can be significantly increased through sport. In order to lose one kilogram of fatty tissue, a lot of energy has to be consumed. This cannot happen from one day to the next and takes time. That’s why you should already start in winter for your bikini figure.

What do you think about advertising for a bikini figure in 3-6 weeks?

Advertising for a bikini figure in 3-6 weeks is always to be questioned critically first and is usually unrealistic. Some weight can be lost in a short period of time due to a large loss of water, muscle breakdown and emptying of the gastrointestinal tract. Here, a weight loss of 5 to 6 kilograms is even possible.

However, this is not a long-term gain and does not reduce our fat tissue. One should not be fooled by this. With starvation diets, it should be remembered that the body shuts down its entire metabolism, which in turn reduces the body’s overall turnover.

In addition, a strong yoyo effect can be expected here. This means that after stopping the diet, the weight lost or even more weight is gained again. No matter how much fat tissue has actually been lost, the real challenge is to maintain the weight. Therefore, after losing weight, one should never fall back into the lifestyle before the weight loss, which is easily the case after a crash diet. For long-term success, a change of diet and exercise is necessary.
