Why is winter fitness more suitable for muscle gain?
As a sports enthusiast, we should also keep the good habit of keeping fit in the cold winter. But in the cold winter, should we brush mainly with muscle gain or fat reduction?

According to Bian Xiao's personal humble opinion, in this season when the north wind is howling, it is king to gain muscle silently. There are three reasons:

1 It is easier to consume too much energy in winter. Cold winter, year-end party, classmate party, Spring Festival and Lantern Festival follow one after another. Faced with a table of chicken, duck, fish and delicacies, can you ensure that you completely control your appetite? At the same time, in winter, in order to resist the cold weather, your body is more inclined to hoard energy and increase the thickness of fat. Your brain will also tell you to eat more and eat more.

Metabolism slows down in winter. The consumption of exercise is certainly not as high as in other seasons. If you want to lose weight, the same level of exercise is definitely not as effective as other seasons. And the daily intake of nutrients is more than other seasons.

We know that the principle of muscle training is "overload" and "overcompensation". A process of "destroying" the muscle fiber group in a certain part of your body through heavy and overloaded resistance training, and then repairing the "destroyed" muscle fiber in time through energy such as protein and carbohydrates supplemented by diet. Therefore, you don't need to increase the muscle content and increase the basal metabolic rate in winter, so that you can lose fat in spring and show your figure next summer. Instead, don't you think it's a waste to lose fat in winter?

The above is Bian Xiao's personal humble opinion. Do you think winter is more suitable for gaining muscle or losing fat?
