Weighting it Out - Your Guide to Using Weight Lifting to Lose Weight
Weight lifting helps achieve weight loss goals because it helps
boost your metabolism, which generates additional fat burning
enzymes, and your body subsequently burns more fat.
There is some conflicting information on weight lifting and
weight loss goals, however.
One expert has stated that if a person is more than 25 pounds
overweight that they should set the weight training aside or
make it very minimal until aerobic and other forms of exercise
have gotten them within 25 pounds of their ideal weight.
The reason that extreme obesity and weight lifting don't work
well for weight loss is because obese people often tend to add
muscle easily while they in turn resist losing weight.
What some weight loss and weight lifting gurus tell these obese
folks is to concentrate their exercise and weight loss efforts
in the realm of aerobic exercise until they have gotten their
weight down to less than 25
pounds over their ideal body weight.
At this point they can then add the weight lifting to their
weight loss and exercise regimen. A person, for example, who is
40 pounds overweight, is recommended to do 30-45 minutes of
aerobic activity six days each week. It is further suggested
that their weight loss exercise regiment be two different forms
of aerobic exercise practiced on alternate days.
Once they get to within 24 pounds of their ideal weight then
they can cut their aerobic exercise back to four days a week and
use the other two days for weight lifting. This is considered
the ideal weight training and weight loss method.
