Strength Training
Did you know that weight training isn’t just for those of you who are trying to put on weight, bulk out and have the ability to pick a car up?
Weights are for everyone, it just depends on how you approach it. Lifting weights is actually one of the biggest tools in the weight loss locker, and many of you are overlooking it due to the fear of putting weight on. Lifting weights is an ideal way of boosting your metabolism, not only do you burn a good deal of calories whilst doing the weights, your body also continues to burn a large amount of calories during muscle repair over the following 24 hour period. Eating food high in protein within an hour of weight training will ensure that your muscles repair effectively and will get you ready for your next weight training session.
Try to limit your weight training sessions to 2-3 times per week, a lot of my clients tend to rotate the muscle groups they train in order to stagger the muscles you use in each session, rest is exactly what your muscles need to ensure maximum results.
You will get the best results if you ensure that your training sessions have breaks of at least a day between them. I.E Monday, Wednesday and Saturday would be a perfect way to break down your weekly workout.
Tip – When you weigh yourself do not be put off by small weight gains to begin with, this is just a perfect indication that muscle weighs more than fat, and that you are being successful in your weight loss journey. The type of weight training you do dictates the results you will receive, for example if you train for strength; this will increase the strength of your muscle fibres, burn large amounts of calories with no side effect of putting on any bulk. By the way all the conventional methods of training such as press-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups are perfect examples of strength training.
If you wish to take strength training to the next level it is best to join the gym, they have all the equipment that you need in order to work every single muscle group in your body. The more muscles you can work out the better results you will get and the more calories you will burn.
The direct benefits of strength training are as follows: -
• increased endurance and flexibility
• increases your energy levels
• protection of your joints (good for injury prevention)
• an increase in bone mass (this helps with prevention of fractures and degeneration from osteoporosis)
• And boosts your metabolism (the key reason weights are important in the weight loss game)
Tip – Ensure that when you finish your cardio workout you follow it with some strength exercises, this way you will burn a huge amount of calories in the workout itself, plus a huge amount in the following 24 hour period. This will make for some exciting results in a matter of only weeks.
If you follow this article properly, you will receive huge weight loss benefits, as well as getting that perfectly lean attractive body that everyone wants.
