Strength training with weights keto 10xPosted by octo ploi on July 25th, 2019 Strength training with weights is one of the best methods for increasing lean muscle, which in turn fires up your metabolism naturally. Lean muscle, which makes women look slender, shapely, and fit, burns calories all day long after intense exercise. One of the great resources for women and strength training is The New Rules Of Lifting For Women - Lift Like A Man...Look Like A Goddess. It refutes many misconceptions and provides women with a sane and sensible approach to strength training and eating habits. Best Exercise To Lose Weight - Let's talk cardio I think there has been more abuse of cardio than any other modality for weight loss in women. For some reason, when women get it in their heads they need to lose a few pounds, they think either extreme, hyper-intense cardio...or spending hours on the treadmill is the answer. Please...burn this into your brain: Healthy weight loss occurs when you blend quality nutrition with intelligent exercise. It doesn't matter how much or how hard you train, workouts will NEVER overcome careless eating habits. Extreme weight loss and sensible weight loss do not collide in the same sentence in any weight loss success stories for women I have ever read. Cardio is just one part of the puzzle and it ranks much lower in significance than making important changes in your lifelong eating habits. With that being said, you should strive to integrate 30 minutes of continuous movement in your life each day. Get away from the iPad, get away from you cell phone, turn off the TV...and MOVE! (The average person watches five hours of TV each day. You can find the time!) You can start with a simple walking program, then gradually move to jogging and running. You can start slowly on a treadmill or stationary bike, then gradually push yourself to more intense levels. Ideally, with cardio, you want to combine a couple of days of interval training workouts (segments of high intensity followed by short periods of rest/recovery) and steady-state cardio. To lose weight, you need to build muscle. I am not recommending that you become a body builder, but I am suggesting that you visit Sports Authority, Dick's Sporting Goods, or Walmart. Pickup a 5 pound dumbbell for weight loss if you are a woman and purchase a 25 pound dumbbell for weight loss if you are an overweight male. Body building is the key to weight loss for men and women. When you build muscle, you burn fat. The best part is, you burn fat faster. Weight lifting is great for both older people who are overweight and young adults who need to lose fat. Muscle building will allow you to lose belly fat, back fat, arm fat, and leg fat. Like it? Share it! |
