The weight training advantage... I still see so many ladys following the myth that lifting weights heavier than their purse in the gym will make them bulky and instead spend hours smashing out steady state cardio... When you add resistance training to your routine, it can speed up the weight loss process by making your muscles a more efficient fat-burning FURNACE. What’s more, it’s also good for your bone health and cardiovascular health, as well as boosting glucose control so your body processes carbs better. Plus, in addition to sculpting your abs, you’ll build definition in your entire body and be able to eat MORE food. Getting both your nutrition and your trained sorted is the key to eliminating fat and building muscle—as opposed to just losing weight. That’s the real key to looking like you have a new body, rather than just seeing a different number on the scale. Resistance training burns calories during your sessions and onwards hours after your session. Weight training is what you need to provide faster results with less time in the gym. Not only do you have to work out fewer times per week (you’d be shocked what you can do in just 3-4 workouts per week) you’ll also have shorter sessions. That’s because intensity is much more important than duration for eliminating fat. So you can spend a fraction of the time in the gym and still kiss your tummy good-bye ;) In fact, research has shown that 8 to 12 minutes of intense intervals can burn as many calories as 25 to 30 minutes of constant moderate exertion exercise. Does that mean you only need to exercise for 8 to 12 minutes to see your abs? Unfortunately, no. But don’t be surprised when you spend less time on the cardio machines, pick up a few dumbbells, have less time in the gym and suddenly don’t even recognize your own body! ! !
