Regular exercise strengthens your heart and lungs and it can strengthen bones, slowing down the process of osteoporosis. It can help you move easily by keeping your joints, tendons and ligaments more flexible. Can help you lose weight when combined with good eating habits or maintain ideal weight by burning excess calories and promote sense of well being.
Though you might consider cardio as the primary type of activity for fat burn, weight training is another option for fat loss. Thanks to excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), your metabolism remains elevated even after exercising.
If you're wondering how to start strength training for fat loss, a welldesigned strength-training program-that includes cardio and rest days-is a great way to start. That combination can keep you burning calories and fat well after your workout.
FAT LOSS VS WEIGHT LOSS
Weight loss and fat loss are related, but the two are not necessarily interchangeable.
Your body weight consists of body fat and lean mass, which includes your bones, muscles, and organs. Fat loss, is a subset of weight loss. Weight loss can involve losing body fat, water weight, and some muscle mass but with the goal of maintaining lean mass.
That's why you may find if you build muscle but lose fat, your body weight may not always decrease. However, one of the advantages of increasing muscle is weight management. The more muscle you have, the easier it is for your body to burn calories.
WHAT TYPE OF STRENGTH TRAINING HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS?
Two types of strength training can contribute to weight loss: PURE STRENGTH TRAINING and METABOLIC RESISTANCE TRAINING (MRT), also known as HIIT.
