Weight Management
A weight training routine will be far more effective for weight management than aerobics exercise on its own. Aerobic exercise is important for good health as well, but the inclusion of resistance training will make it far easier for weight loss and/or management. Here's why:
- Increased metabolism. The more effective the weight program, the longer you will raise your metabolism. A great workout can have your metabolism working that much harder for up to 48 hours.
- Fat burning. An effective resistance workout can burn fat fast. Try high intensity interval training (H.I.I.T.) for the fastest results.
- More muscle mass. The more muscle mass you have, the faster your resting metabolism will run. Muscle requires far more energy than its fatty cousin.
- Weight training equipment. Basically, strength training can involve machines, free weights (dumbbells, bar bells, and hand weights) and resistance bands.
