Weights For Weight Loss

Many people are looking for quick and effective ways to lose
weight. There is a lot to be considered when losing weight, and

the basics are a healthy diet and an active lifestyle. It is often
assumed that cardio workouts are the best for losing weight,

however, this is not necessarily true. For losing fat, weight
training is an excellent choice of workout.

Calorie Burning Foremost Directory
The beauty of weight lifting, is that during a workout
you burn calories. However, with most workouts, when
you finish exercising, you finish fat burning. With weight
training, you keep burning those calories for up to 72
hours after you have finished your workout; this is called
the after-burn effect.
Bones
In addition to calorie burn, weight lifting can also be
great news for improving bone density, making the risk
of osteoporosis much less than for people who don’t
lift. It can also aid in reducing the risk of cardiovascular
disease and type 2 diabetes.
Body Shape
Weight lifting increases your metabolism and burns fat,
as well as increasing muscle tone and strength. This
encourages your body shape to change more quickly.
You’re not bulking up, you’re improving muscle tone
and slimming down. Seeing results will help to keep you
motivated, keeping you fitter and healthier for longer.
Protein
Building muscle requires protein, so a protein rich diet
is great for weight lifters. Fish, eggs, lean meat, nuts
and beans are a great option, with 2-3 portions per day,
being the ideal. Protein is a great food for keeping you
fuller for longer, making it a great choice to prevent that
sugar binge in the evening. Diet is vital for optimum
results.
Heavy
You need to ensure your alignment is correct for lifting,
so it may be worth a session or two with a personal
trainer to give you some pointers, or watch yourself in
front of a mirror to ensure your hips remain tucked and
your posture is correct.
Ideally, you want to be lifting heavier weights to see
results quickly. ‘Heavy’ is different for everyone. You
should be able to manage about 7 or 8 repetitions of
each exercise. If you are finding this easy, you need to up
your weight, and be aware, you’ll need different weights
for different muscle groups for maximum results.
So get started on your weight lifting and watch your
body shape and composition improve beyond compare.
