Most people have been told that cardio training is the most effective way to lose weight, indeed High Intensity Interval Training, discussed in my last post ,will assist with weight and fat loss. However, Resistance Training will multiply your fat loss efforts significantly.
The reason High Intensity Resistance Training is so effective is because it creates metabolic changes within the body, burning fat for at least 24 hours after your workout has finished due to post-exercise oxygen consumption and resulting in an increased metabolic rate 24 hours a day.
But, Resistance Training must be done correctly to deliver this fat burning potential. To ensure your resistance training is effectively reducing fat it is essential that you use:
- Multi Joint Exercises
- Maximum Range of Movement
- Optimum Sets and Reps
- Freeweight and Bodyweight Exercises
- Variety and Progression
- Monitoring and Evaluation
Until next time . . . Get Inspired, Motivated, Empowered!
P.S. I hope you find my blog informative and useful. Any feedback is most appreciated.
Warning: If you have any concerns over your ability to exercise or you have any known medical conditions it is always recommended to consult with your doctor before undertaking any exercise programme.
