Weight Training For Optimal Fat Loss
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Strength training is the best and most beneficial procedure for fat loss. By building muscle, you are boosting your metabolism and helping your body to burn even more calories. Also, with strength training, your body begins to burn an exorbitant number of calories even after you have finished training. So watch TV and STILL burn calories!
With strength training you have a lot of options. For beginners or someone who doesn't have access to a gym or equipment, bodyweight exercises are an excellent option for fat loss.
Some key points for doing strength training are:
- Make sure to warm up and stretch before your workout starts;
- Lift weights in a slow, steady movement;
- Don't forget to breathe!;
For perfect results, it is best to do strength training workouts at least 3 times per week. To burn extra fat, follow up strength training with 30 minutes of cardio. Don't overdo it! Make sure to change up your workouts every 6-8 weeks to avoid a fat loss plateau. Fat loss plateau can also be prevented with overfeeding for 1 day. Just try and overfeed with healthy foods!
Modifying your workouts keeps your workouts fun and new and makes you a lot less likely to finish doing them! It's what I have done and I am still enjoying it! ;)
