Episode 2

'Why Don’t You Have Some Protein?' Is the Second episode in the anime of Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru.

Prologue
The episode begins with Ibuki shockingly discovering that she had gained weight instead of lost! But this isn't a problem as Machio explains to her that muscles are denser than fat. So the larger your muscles get, the heavier you become.

What do to before working out

 * Stretching before training is mostly useless and has some negative effects. When you are stretching your body before it’s warmed up, you have a chance to end up hurting your tendons and joints. There are even some researches who say that if you stretch for more than 45 seconds, your muscle strength could decrease by an average 5,5%. But not only that but also both of your explosive muscular performance and jumping power could be decreased by about 3%. That is why it is better to do Dynamic Stretching before working out which are exercises that move your limbs, warm up your body, and improve your muscles' flexibility.

Some Dynamic Stretching

 * Forward and backward your shoulders in circles.Clothes_Ripping.png

Some Facts

 * Extreme Dietary with lack of nutrients makes you lose a lot of weight but this makes your muscle mass decrease as well. If you go back to your usual diet after such an extreme one, there will be a 'rebound', this means that because of their lower metabolism it will be harder to lose weight because the body isn't used to burning such a high amount of calories.
 * Metabolism is the reaction of your body burning calories in your body when you do nothing.
