Strength Training Making Losing Weight So Much Easier

Whether you fight a constant lifelong battle with weight problems or only feel that you need to lose a few pounds, losing weight is a topic that seems to be uppermost in many of our minds.

Special diet books consistently rank amongst best-sellers on the bookstore shelves and it is impossible to watch television or open our email without being assaulted by “magic pills” that are guaranteed to help us lose weight. The trouble is these quick fix methods rarely work, and we are often left with a sense of failure after each attempt when they don’t produce the results we expected.

So many people try to lose weight on their own and unfortunately suffer the consequences by negatively altering their metabolism and hormonal function. This then leaves our metabolic engine running at a slower speed making further attempts at losing weight even more difficult.

The true secret to weight loss is a very simple one, although it can be a challenge to implement it. Just a few changes that you make in your every-day lifestyle will help you lose the extra pounds without resorting to the expense (both financial and physical) of fad diets and dangerous pills.

The latest scientific way to lose excess body fat is to increase metabolism (the rate your body burns fuel) through exercise. When we perform a proper exercise program, our bodies require more energy and our metabolism increases in order to supply it.

The idea is to burn more calories every hour of the day and night even when doing very little, like sitting around or even sleeping. To enable this to happen not just any old exercise will do the job. It has to be the right exercise and that involves strength training for at least 60% of the program and some cardio interval training as well.
