HFSCan Weight Training help Fat Burning?
A common myth surrounding weight training is that is only for body builders and people wanting to get large muscles. The benefits of a regular weight training program go way beyond just increasing the size of your arms.
Apart from the immediate gains in both muscle and bone strength weight training can be a perfect partner in the fight against fat along with your cardiovascular exercise.
Lean muscle mass burns more calories so by increasing your lean muscle mass you in turn increase your fat burning capabilities. Large rhythmic movements of large muscles during weight training increase the bodies metabolic rate and send calorie burning through the roof for a extended time. This doesn't mean that your should abandon cardio training, instead you should link the two and really blow away the excess fat.
For best results, compliment workouts with aerobic exercise.
To increase effectiveness and help prevent muscle strain:
- Rest between sets until heart rate comes down to 65-70%
- Toning - do 1-2 sets, 12-15 Reps.
- Strength - 1-2 Sets, 8-12 Reps.
- Max Bulk - 1-3 Sets, 6-8 Reps.
- Space workouts at least 48 hours apart.
