Chapter 1077: Chapter 1077: Only Lost One Pound

For her relaxation exercise, Hai Xiaotang chose yoga, which not only made her body more flexible but also soothed her mind.

If it weren’t for the fact that yoga was almost ineffective for weight loss, Hai Xiaotang would have wanted to stick to yoga alone.

With that, Hai Xiaotang began her weight loss journey.

Every ti she left the gym, she was drenched in sweat.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Hai Xiaotang, full of confidence, went to weigh herself, thinking she must have lost at least five or six pounds, considering how hard she had persevered and how tired she was.

The result…

“Why did I only lose one pound?!” Hai Xiaotang stared at the digital scale and scread in disbelief.

Dongfang Yu ca over to look and said calmly, “This is normal.”

Hai Xiaotang grabbed his collar and shook it, “How can this be normal? I worked so hard, I ran for forty minutes each ti, I exercised for almost an hour and a half every day, I only ate one bowl of rice for each al, and yet, I only lost one pound! Tell , where did all the sweat go, how co my fat hasn’t decreased at all?”

Dongfang Yu was nearly choked by her.

He held her hand, “Hai Xiaotang, calm down, this really is normal.”

“How can this be normal? I only lost one pound, and I haven’t even drunk water. If I had drunk water, wouldn’t I not have lost any weight at all?” Hai Xiaotang felt so frustrated she wanted to throw Dongfang Yu out.

“Calm down, this really is normal,” Dongfang Yu reassured her with a chuckle, “You were just getting used to exercise during the first half of the month, so the results for the first month are a bit poor. But this is laying the foundation; your physical fitness has much improved, it will be easier to lose weight going forward. Plus, your starting body weight is low, so the effects will naturally be slower.”

“You’re trying to trick again…”

“What, you don’t believe ?” Dongfang Yu pinched her nose, “Our two-month bet isn’t up yet.”

“Fine, I’ll trust you for one more month!” Hai Xiaotang glared at him dangerously, “If I don’t lose weight, I’ll, I’ll stop eating!”

“You will lose weight, really,” Dongfang Yu laughed confidently, bringing so reassurance to Hai Xiaotang.

But the speed of weight loss was really slow…

Like all girls around the world, she wished she could lose dozens of pounds in one go!

But flesh isn’t gained in a day, and naturally, it can’t be lost in a day either.

Hai Xiaotang could only grit her teeth and continue exercising.

Still starting with 20 minutes of high-intensity warm-up exercises, followed by 40 minutes of running, and then 20 minutes of stretching exercises…

Warm-up exercises can include several types to perform, and rotating them daily is okay. This keeps it from being boring and prevents the body from developing resistance.

Running has to be a solid 40 minutes, at the very least 30 minutes.

Although many exercise thods can help lose weight, Hai Xiaotang only wanted to shed the excess fat, and the quickest and easiest thod to master was running.

Dongfang Yu didn’t allow her to only run because just running was ineffective. When the human body moves, approximately the first half-hour burns carbohydrates, and only afterward does it start burning fat.

If she only ran, collapsing after the first half hour, then the exercise was in vain because it wasn’t burning fat.

So before running, so other less monotonous exercises are necessary to burn carbohydrates.

Only then cos the crucial ti to reduce fat through running, and the stretching exercises afterwards are also essential to avoid muscle stiffness.

“I know, it’ll build muscle!” That’s how Hai Xiaotang replied the first ti Dongfang Yu had her do stretching exercises.
