Trying to fit all your training into the weekend i.e being a weekend warrior is becoming more common. Although I admire the idea of trying to get more training in, there are a couple of potential problems with this approach. Many people push themselves too hard trying to compensate for missing their workouts during the week. This can result in injury and causing so much muscle soreness that training looses is appeal. Further, weekend only training limits the fitness and health benefits that you can gain from your training in comparison to more regular training.

It is far better to do several short workouts during the week than to hammer yourself on the weekend.

One of the things that I have noticed training at my local gym, is that the level of supervision is very different to most modern gyms in Australia. In Australia we, the staff, were expected to be proactive and be on the lookout for training technique that is potentially dangerous. It doesn’t seem to be the same in the gyms I have visited here. This may not be Japan wide situation but the differences in litigation here may be a contributing factor. Another factor may be that, at the gym I train at, there is only a small free weights section and I am unsure if the staff know enough about picking up technique flaws in free weight training. Another possible factor could be cultural differences.

The differences are quite striking and some of the technique demonstrated here makes me cringe. It would certainly be discussed and corrected if it happened in Australia.

Loosing bodyfat is not only good for you, it is good for the environment. Research from the UK is indicating that the increasingly obese world population is a contributing factor to global warming. They are saying that obese and overweight people use more fuel to transport them and to transport the food that they consume.

In another study researchers suggest that because thinner people consume less and are likely to walk more rather than being so reliant on cars, the demands placed on agriculture and fuel by a thinner population are less. They concluded the reduction in car use would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.
