There is
More To Weight Loss
Supercharge
your Weight Loss
Plan
If you are willing to put in the extra effort
you can lose considerably more weight a lot faster by adding
resistance training to your weight loss program.
Lifting weights will help to burn
body fat quicker than aerobic exercise which is something that
a lot of people don't understand.
Aerobic exercise for an hour or
so will burn more calories than lifting weights for the same
hour however weightlifting gives additional benefits after that
hour that aerobic exercise doesn't.
After resistance training your
muscles need to repair themselves and in doing so this process
burns even more calories so you are getting the benefit of the
calories that are burnt during the exercise combined with the
calories that are getting burnt as the muscles are getting
repaired.
There is also another benefit
that is obtained by weightlifting and resistance exercise and
that is the fact that you will be building up muscle
mass.
Now many women get concerned
thinking that they are going to look like a female version of
Arnold Schwarzenegger but not only is this unlikely, without
the use of steroids it is impossible particularly for a
woman.
Muscle burns fat and by building
up your muscle mass you are creating a fat burning machine that
will help to use up excess body fat throughout the
day.
This is why people who supplement
their weight loss programmes with suitable resistance training
will reduce fat and get considerably better results in less
time.
You also get the additional
benefits of becoming fitter, improving your heart and your
bones and it also has a positive affect on your mental attitude
and to some people just feeling better about themselves can
solve a lot of the reasons why they overeat in the first
place.
You don't have to lift excessive
weights for this to work as even light resistance training will
be an added benefit to your weight-loss
program.
