Change with Admiral ATHLETICS

How your body changes in a month when you push yourself in the personal gym: ⁉︎

Can we leave it any longer? The answer is absolutely NO. If you want to improve your current physical problems, now may be the time to take a serious step forward. First of all, give it a month. If you find enjoyment during that time, you will be able to lead a fulfilling lifestyle that includes working out. This project closely follows the training lifestyle of Ryo Sekikawa and Naomi Frank, a couple who share this view. They joined CLIFF GYM, a personal gym in Yoyogi Park that is known for its short-term intensive plans, because they wanted to be sure to get the most out of their workout. Motivation is provided by Admiral Athle, which offers a wide range of functional and stylish sportswear. The environment and clothes are ready, so what will happen to your body in one month? ⁉︎

The first step is a consultation with a trainer. My goal is to shape up my back and hips to look good in a dress! said Naomi. Ryo said, "I want to strengthen my shoulder area and have an inverted triangle body like Kid Yamamoto! How far will she get in one month of training twice a week for one hour? How much can they achieve in an hour of training twice a week for a month?

Ryo-san working on the basic shoulder exercise, "side raises. The simple movement of holding dumbbells and raising the arms to the sides may seem simple, but even with light weights, you can experience the pain of lactic acid buildup by persistently and stubbornly pushing hard. This is an effective exercise for building shoulder extension to the side. In the bodybuilding competition of Men's Physique, shoulder size is a very important evaluation criterion, and is an essential part of a beautiful body. The more broad the shoulders are, the wider the base of the inverted triangle becomes, and the face becomes smaller in relative terms! You don't need a filter to make it look more attractive.

Naomi started with squats, one of the so-called muscle training BIG3 (bench press, deadlift, and squat). In comedy BIG3, she is probably Beat Takeshi. He must be Akashiya Sanma for bench press and Tamori for deadlift. It wasn't until the Showa period (1926-1989) that men were told to shut up and squat. In fact, I think it is becoming common knowledge among Generation Z that women are the ones who should squat. Squats are good for hip up, increase basal metabolism, make it easier to lose weight and harder to gain weight, have a high fat-burning effect, improve sensitivity to cold, swelling, and constipation, stimulate hormone secretion, and have a beautiful skin effect, etc. First, squat deeply and profoundly with your own body weight. The depth of squatting = the depth of humanity.

The two of them finished their first day of training without incident, screaming after a long time. How are you feeling about the future?

I had heard, "It's just a simple movement," and it was true, I didn't feel like I was breathing, but only my shoulders were really hard. But when I touched my shoulders afterward, I could feel that they were pumped up. That motivated me and I am looking forward to the future. I don't usually choose to wear orange, but when I tried it on, I was surprised at how well it suited me. The gorgeous color makes me feel excited. (Ms. Ryo)

My legs are wobbly right now (laughs), but wearing brightly colored clothes naturally motivates me. I have asthma, so I had them take care of that as well, and we trained with breaks in between. But I was relieved and happy because I could move my body more than I thought I could. When I wore a dress for my wedding, I wanted to show my back shoulder blades, so we decided to do leg training that would squeeze my whole body. I also chose a dress that will easily show my hips, so I want to shape up as well. I want to push myself even harder! (Naomi)
