Lifting Weights does not mean your become big!
Previous Article: Morning exercise to loose belly fat
You might have read from the previous article a good way to start to loose the body fat with cardio, then you would have read that lifting weights is just as important!
First let us talk to the girls out there who think that if they do weights they will get big a muscular! If this was so easy then we guys would all be huge and steroids would never have been invented. Truth is it is hard to gain muscle, and for you girls it is even harder due to the little thing called testosterone and the lack of it you girls have. So you do not be come disillusioned that if you are lift weights you will become a bodybuilder. Weight lifting helps strengthen your existing muscles and promote your body to keep them when it goes about loosing the fat surrounding them. Your body is made up of body mass of which is muscle and fat (plus skeletal and organs). You need to keep your muscles if you want to loose your fat otherwise you will be sickly thin. Muscles give you your body shape!
Another good point to be aware of with weight training is the acceleration of your metabolism. You will burn calories while lifting the weights, and if training intensively enough there after for the rest of the day. For you girls out there weight lifting will help you shape your thighs and hamstrings so that once the fat is burnt off you have something underneath to show off!
So what to train? Compound lifting is the way to go. These are lifts that use as many muscles as possible to complete the lift such as the dead lift, the squat, the military press and the bench press. Stick to the big compound basics when lifting and always strive for progression. Each time you enter the gym you want to be lifting a little more weight on the bar or squeezing out an extra rep. Progression is key.
A good solid resistance training regime with morning unfuelled cardio (and good diet) will have you going in the right direction to shed the unwanted lbs of fat from around your belly and thighs.
