Fit ”instead of just“ slim ”

What used to be “slim” is now “fit”. What is meant is that the focus is no longer on a certain size of clothing, but on “feeling fit”. It is a great feeling to be physically and mentally efficient. In addition, "being fit" - in contrast to "just being slim" - brings considerable health benefits.

Being fit feels great

Anyone who has exercised for a while and has become fit can confirm that it feels good to be fit. Exercise releases happiness hormones, the brain gets more blood, the body gets stronger and self-confidence grows. In contrast, a pure diet with the main focus on slimming has the opposite effect. The body switches to a kind of energy-saving mode - you feel tired and drained. To avoid everyday physical challenges such as B. Climbing stairs to be overwhelmed: combine healthy eating with training.

Who wants to be out of breath after a few steps and have to carry their purchases into the apartment individually? Combine healthy eating with exercise and carry the whole box at once - with a relaxed smile.

Muscles look good

If you just focus on being lean, muscle building is neglected. But muscles shape and tighten your body and just look good! Wide shoulders in men and firm tissue in women - who doesn't find that attractive? With a fit body, you signal yourself and others strength and assertiveness. Your body stature changes through strength training to an upright, confident and healthy posture. And last but not least, the famous “bubble butt” and “washboard belly” are created - not by being slim - but by training and fitness!

Muscles are healthy

Muscles not only look good, they also bring many health benefits. For example, hormone-like messenger substances are released from the muscle mass, the so-called “myokines”. They help the body fight inflammation and thus prevent the development of diabetes and hardening of the arteries (Pedersen, B.K. and Fischer, C.P., 2007), with all its side effects: from impotence and chest pain to heart attack and stroke. These recently discovered benefits of well-developed muscles alone should be enough motivation for your next visit to the studio.

Strength training strengthens the bones

Although you cannot see bones, they are still an important part of the anatomy because they support the entire body. Strong bones are an important factor for your health. Spasmodic weight loss through dieting carries the risk that your bones lose density and are therefore less stable (Villareal, D.T. et al., 2006). An unfittered body often takes revenge in old age with bone loss, the so-called osteoporosis.


You gain bone density through a fit body! Strength training has been shown to strengthen bones and increase bone density (Layne, J.E. & Nelson, M.E., 1999, Villareal, D.T. et al .; 2006).

No yo-yo effect through regular workout

A conventional diet with a severe reduction in the calorie intake will not only burn fat, but also muscle mass. As a result, the basal metabolic rate, i.e. the daily amount of calories required by the body at rest, drops. That means: if you return to your old eating habits after a diet, you will gain weight again disproportionately quickly. Often an even higher weight is achieved due to the lower basic metabolism!

This cannot happen with a long-term change in diet and strength training! Regular strength training signals to the body that it needs the muscle mass. In the event of a calorie deficit due to the training, only fat is broken down, the muscle mass is preserved or even increases. The result is a higher basal metabolic rate, which means that more energy is used even in the idle state! Weight training thus prevents weight gain from falling back into old eating habits. It is proven that training plays a central role in long-term weight.

Get fit effectively through strength training in a circuit
Nowadays we know that strength training is an irreplaceable part of any successful training plan. In addition to the calories burned immediately during training, the afterburn effect sets in after training. This will burn even more calories. You can find more about this in our article “Optimal calorie consumption with strength training in a circle”.

In the eGym circuit you train strength and endurance at the same time and thus get an all-round effective training in the shortest possible time. You can find out more about the advantages of eGym circuit training here.
