How You Can Benefit Through Weight Training in Combination With Aerobic Activities
Many people who have worked out for years never have understood the benefits derived when incorporating weight training into their program. It is great for anyone to use including women and seniors. It helps to eliminate weight, develops and firms muscle and helps with increasing bone density. For years noted health and fitness practitioners have been eschewing the benefits both physical and medical of this type of training.
It is important when training to lose weight, that you do not lose muscle you already have which is helpful in burning calories. Whether a man or woman, using weights for weight loss they should not be concerned with bulking up as it is sometimes referred to. Obviously it used primarily to develop strength and muscle mass, but most of us are unaware that it can have an increased effect in fat loss. If you are using the process to firm and burn fat you are using a different procedure than the body lifter. You will be in most cases concentrating on lighter weights with increased repetitions over a very short time interval. It speeds up your heart and metabolism and burns fat through firming up and increase of hard lean muscle. Weight training is anaerobic in nature and burns carbohydrates or sugars from your body. Jogging, running, spin classes, elliptical machines are aerobic and do burn fat and create weight loss but are different in what they can accomplish. If you observe people who constantly do aerobic exercises only and watch their calorie intake, they will appear slim but sometimes emancipated.
Weight training is an important part of your exercise program in helping you bring about a calorie deficit. Many fail to realize that we all have a muscle under body fat that constantly burns calories. If we are able to add something to your program that builds lean muscle mass, and increases the metabolic rate we begin to see results. It takes effort to build muscle and in turn we use more calories on a daily basis. If we just eliminate calories and use aerobic exercises you risk not seeing as many benefits, as you burn muscle only. If you are burning the lean muscle you will slow your metabolic rate and gain fat. In developing your lean body mass your metabolic rate goes up and you burn more through the burning of sugars and your rate stay up longer, even when sleeping giving you additional benefits.
To get the maximum out of your program and increasing your fat burning qualities you need to combine the benefits of aerobic exercise, weight training and nutrition. These three approaches will bring you what you require if you are disciplined in your approach.
