Challenge Yourself with Resistance Training Tips from Fitness 4 Home Superstore

by Bob Lachniet
President - Fitness 4 Home Superstore

Resistance training is the fastest way to lose weight, change your body shape, increase strength and improve your health. You can do it if you learn to make a sport out of it (or better yet, a game). Take the time to learn proper technique, apply a high degree of vigor to every workout and see just how good you can get.

Here are just a few of the positive effects of resistance training:

• Lose weight by burning extra calories each day
• Reduce your waist size
• Reduce your risk of diseases related to obesity
• Decrease risk of injury
• Develop stronger bones
• Decrease your BMI

Resistance training helps you accelerate your metabolism, which helps you burn fat, creating a leaner, younger looking body. Additionally, as your body becomes stronger, your body is also better equipped to defend against health issues and illnesses that can affect your body.

Resistance training also is a wonderful way to increase not only your muscle strength – but the strength and flexibility of your connective tissues improves as well. So, if your joints feel like tight or weak, weight training will help increase your flexibility, while also giving you more energy during the day.

The after burn and healing of the stretched muscle is what makes resistance training effective at increasing the metabolism to burn more calories and build muscles mass. For each pound of muscle you add, you will burn an additional 50 calories per day. While that might not seem like a lot, it does add up and can either allow you an extra in terms of food or condiments for the day or can be used as banked calories saved for a better weight loss effect.

Here are some examples of resistance training activities:

• Water aerobics
• Using an exercise ball during ab exercises
• Circuit training
• Using dumbbells and other free weights to build muscle
• Using an elastic exercise band to add resistance to your workout
