Weight Loss Tip #62- Mix strength training with cardio to lose weight

Strength training for weight loss

If you want to get lean, it’s time that you start strength training. While many of you prefer sweating it out on a treadmill or think cardio is the best option for losing weight, incorporating weight training into your fitness routine can help you lost weight more effectively. In strength training, you build lean muscles and your body burns more calories, facilitating better weight loss. It also helps you keep burning fat after you are done with your workout session. Fitness icon Kris Gethin writes in his book The Bodybuilding.com Guide To Your Best Body, ‘When you start training regularly with weights, your muscles develop, become denser, and burn more calories all day and night.’

To burn more fat, you should go for exercises that target more than one muscle group. Shoulder press, bench press, pull-ups, squats and deadlifts are the five best exercises to burn fat. While on a weight loss plan, it is ideal to combine weight training with a decent cardio regime and a healthy diet. Also read how women can burn calories quickly with strength training.
