Apart from diet, which plays a major role in your weight loss journey, exercising is the second most important thing you need to focus on to shed those extra kilos. While some of us are super excited for our workout sessions, many of us dread going to the gym. If you are someone who is often dreading the tough days at the gym, here is a tip for you. The studyIn a study conducted by the psychologist at the Department of Sport Science, 78 volunteers were split into four workout groups. All of these people were asked to cycle on a stationary bike for 30 minutes.One group was told that their workout would result in many health benefits and one was informed (falsely) that cycling wont help them in any way. The left two groups were given a compression shirt to wear and some of them were told that it will help increase their workout benefits, while some were given no explanation at all.
While they worked out, it was tracked how difficult the exercise felt and how much efforts the volunteers were putting out.
ResultsAs expected, it was found that volunteers who believed that their workout will result in multiple health benefits, said that efforts were tolerable. Among the two groups wearing a compression shirt, those who were new to exercise and believed that the shirt can boost their workout found the exercise to be easier.
