Fat Burning

Generally speaking, people will practice the cardiovascular and forget about the impact of weight exercises when it comes to burning fat. Many trainers will say that aerobic exercise to burn fat and weightlifting is only used to build muscle bulk. This statement is not entirely correct, because the more muscle mass gained through weight bearing exercises, the more it will burn fat calories ... even at rest. We see the growing trend towards cardiovascular training weight and strength training.

According to a survey conducted by the Fitness Products Council and the Sporting Goods Manufacturers, the number of people lifting free weights has increased by 76 percent in the last decade. At this time, the weight of the lifting is one of the most popular sports in North America. This change is for the best, because the activity of the cardiovascular system in conjunction with weight training will be much more effective fat loss. Cardiovascular exercise increases metabolism and muscle activity during the short time since the exercise session.

Weight lifting exercises, on the other hand, increase muscle metabolism during exercise sessions, and for a long time after the completion of the exercise session. Some high-intensity trainers even seen an increase in their metabolism in a few days after their training.
Enforcement of adequate weight training exercises should limit the repetition of anywhere from 1 to 20 (more or less). Such resistance to the muscles to make them leaner and stronger tissues. The muscle development will take place during a period of rest after resistance training. Therefore, sufficient rest periods are essential.


Is your goal is to build muscle or wording, it is important to know what happens during the process of training the muscles. When lifting weights, muscle tissue is torn beyond (the microscopic level) from stress, and to a period of rest that your muscles become stronger, and therefore in a position to support the additional stress. Typically, a period of rest is required from 24 to 48 hours of weight lifting activity.


During the period of rest, muscle metabolism is still burning energy, and when it is time to follow the steps cardiovascular. Carrying high-repetition of the same tire will move the body on different principles. The combination of low-repetition exercises (weight lifting) with a high repeatability of cardiovascular performs stress the muscles in a complementary manner to increase the total effect of burning fat.

All the debates that weight bearing exercises do not help people lose weight and fat should lift weights for an hour and see their hearts to go through the roof. Just look at athletes who specialize in short, intense bursts of energy and continue to see that they are very low in fat tissue in the body.

The idea is to combine weight lifting routine with a good cardiovascular workout to increase muscle metabolism and burning fat ratio of the total.

An important factor to consider when trying to lose weight is that a lot muscle mass may be lost as a result. In the muscle mass will maintain a high metabolism, try to avoid rapid weight loss through diet miracle or famine. This weight loss will only be regained as soon as possible. Instead, decide on a gradual loss of fat routine through a combination of weight training and cardiovascular diseases, and to allow for building muscle mass and increase metabolism. Results may take a little longer, but will last for a longer period of time.
