JJ Virgin explains activity compensation: when people start resistance training, they often move less the rest of the day without realizing it. Track your total daily movement with a wearable to make sure gym sessions add to your activity, not replace it.
they've seen is that, let's say you go to the gym, quite often people go to the gym and sit more afterwards. Like, their body will want to maintain homeostasis. So one of the first things I like to do is have someone just start tracking how much they move so that when they add in the resistance training, that's the next step, they don't steal away from their knee. Oh, I never thought about that, because that's the tendency.
So they use a device, right? Use a device, a ring or whatever, right? There's many of those things today, counts your movement, your steps, etc., etc. So because you're saying that most people, when they start doing more in the gym, they offset it. But I didn't know that. I didn't know that to be a fact.
Interesting. Enough studies have shown it now.
