FIGUREMAT

Описание: Figureobics is a very special exercise. The name Figureobics is a combination of Figure, which means a healthy body that looks good, and Aerobics, which means aerobic exercise. As the name suggests, you can get both the effect of muscle exercise that makes smooth muscles and the effect of aerobic exercise that burns body fat.

My motivation for developing figure robots was a real-life Korean documentary TV program called Escape from Extreme Obesity, which I appeared as a dedicated trainer. (I posted the last episode of the 12-part program here, so I hope you watch it.) The women who challenged their diet on this program weighed up to 125 kg and 105 kg. As trainers, I felt a heavy responsibility on a show that was being watched by the whole nation. Both cast members had weak knee joints due to their heavy weight, so it was not easy to do weight training. Running or aerobics, which could strain the knees, were also too much. I had to make sure that I reached my desired weight. However, exercise that was too easy for the challengers could not guarantee the effectiveness of the exercise, and most of the intense exercise could not be followed.

At that time, I looked for popular sports and found all the sites around the world. I also bought and researched dozens of DVDs of popular sports programs through Amazon in the U.S. Unfortunately, however, I couldn't find a suitable exercise for that. After a lot of thought, I decided to develop my own exercise. I also started exercising when I was obese, so I was well aware of what programs were needed for ultra-obese people. The exercise I developed had to meet the following conditions.

1. It should last for about 30 minutes to maximize the body fat decomposition effect.
2. You should be able to build the muscles you need to improve your basal metabolism.
3. It should be composed of simple and easy movements so that even the extremely obese can follow.
4. You should be able to have fun so that you can do it until the end without giving up.
5. People with knee joint pain should be able to follow with accurate motion.
6. The powerful effect of losing weight quickly should be guaranteed for people under the super high altitude.

I developed a exercise that satisfies the above conditions. So, the sport that was created is Figureobics. I let ultra-fat challengers do Figuaric every day. They worked out hard and had fun. And miraculously, they started to lose weight. The two challengers lost 50 kg each in five months. A woman weighing 125 kg lost 70 kg and a woman weighing 105 kg lost 55 kg.

Figurerobics is an exercise with a running time of about 30 minutes. This is because if you work out at a low intensity for more than 20 minutes, your body fat will burn the most. The action of developing muscles through muscle contraction and relaxation is borrowed from weight training. All of the action is easy to follow even for children and the elderly. And it consists of a gradual increase in exercise intensity. So by the end of the exercise, everyone is sweating a lot. All of the Figurerobics videos here were shot in real time, without editing. If there was a NG, I had to work out again from the beginning, so the filming process was very difficult. If you watch the video, you can see professional trainers who have done it hundreds of times go into the latter half and sweat a lot.

Immerse yourself in the music when you're doing this exercise. All of Figurerobics music is an original soundtrack written specifically for exercise. Immerse yourself in the music and you can exercise in a fun and restrained way.
Exercise is not something you see or hear with your eyes, but something you move your body to do. There is a Korean proverb that says, 'It's better to do it once than to watch it a hundred times' It is widely written to mean that it is better to do it once than to hear it a hundred times. It is similar to the English word ‘a picture is worth a few words.’ The same goes for my Figurerobics. Just follow them from start to finish and you'll see that Figureobics is a very well-designed, outstanding program.

I'm still playing Figureobics every day that I made. It's already been almost 20 years. But in 20 years I'll still be playing Figureobics.
