Why Is Weight Training The No.1 Tool For Fat Loss?
I know. You don’t want to look bulky. But you won’t, unless you use steroids or just have superior muscle construction genetics that most guys will be envious of. I mean, how often do you see a muscular woman? To those who are ‘bulky’ and reckon they have ‘huge bones’ or have too much muscle, please, stop cheating physically. It’s fats you need to lose to achieve your ideal figure. This will be a long article but if you end reading it I’m sure you will benefit from it
I’ll first touch a bit on nourishment and dieting since I feel it’s the most valuable aspect to stout loss. It sounds simple enough- eat less than you expend and you lose weight, eat more than you expend and you gain weight. This is right till a certain point where further decrease in food intake does not result in a decrease in weight any longer. This happens due to a decrease in metabolic rate. The body tries hard to preserve whatever it has, so it in effect shuts the body down. Hormonal levels are also affected. You feel weak, on edge and exhausted. Frustrated too, due to lack of progress. You overeat and the weight piles back on. What you need is strength training which helps build muscle, or at least allows you to preserve whatever muscle you have during dieting (harsh dieting causes quick muscle loss). It does so by introduction stress on your muscles, constantly challenging them for the body to feel a need to keep them or even build them.
A note about cardio or aerobic work. Believe it or not, doing cardio (running swimming etc) is not elemental for stout loss, at least not for those with high body stout levels. It is because cardio only expends calories during the period you’re doing them. This can be easily achieved by eating less. It does not anything to help boost metabolic rate after exercise. On the other hand, weight training builds muscle, thus having an indirect effect on increasing metabolism. In addition, studies have shown that metabolic rate can be elevated for 24 hours after a weight training conference! Plainly it is the superior choice for people seeking stout loss. Though, cardio is recommended for cardiovascular health, duh.
I’m gonna bet that 99% of you reading this wants a better figure. I’ll elaborate on how weight training will accomplish this. One huge benefit of weight training is its effect on raising metabolism and keeping it elevated for total periods. This effect is more profound in weight training than aerobic type workouts like running. Your metabolism drops back to normal after you complete such activities, unlike weight training. An elevated metabolism causes a greater amount of stout loss due to a greater calorie deficit. So you achieve your goals quicker. Imagine this – You diet for total periods of time lacking weight training and you lose WEIGHT – muscle plus stout. As you take up again your metabolism becomes lower and lower and you take more time to lose the same amount of weight. Above and beyond that, you feel flabby all over due to muscle loss, not to bring up decreases in strength, which may even affect daily activities. So in the end you get a less vital version of your overweight self before, only weaker and hungrier.
Just a small note. You might reckon I’m bullshitting cause I said eat less than you expend and you lose weight. Common sense tells you to eat less during a stout loss phase. How then is it doable to gain muscle? Well, here’s the excellent news for beginners. Since weight training is new to them, this new stimulus (stress by weights on body) builds muscle effectively, now and again even on a negative caloric diet. I should add that this applies to beginners with higher levels of body stout only. Meal timings mainly around workouts help in muscle construction too. That is why it’s common to hear beginners gain muscle and lose stout at once while it’s very hard for veteran trainees to do that, unless they’re on drugs or have laid off training for an total period.
Bone sandstone loss and osteoporosis are major harms for women and steps should be taken to build strong bones from young. Strength training is the only activity that can constantly place stress on your bones for them to maintain strength and slow bone loss. It can be taken up by anyone young or ancient. Hip breaks are not fun at all really.
Another small benefit : Increased chest size. This is not due to an boost in the amount of fatty tissue in your breasts (even if we hope so) but the hypertrophy or growth of muscle tissues in the chest and back area. This gives the illusion of a larger bust line. In addition, some flesh in the hip area helps too. Collective with a small waistline, this gives you the hourglass figure all is talking about.
While we’re on this I also want to talk about this huge delusion we have of weight training. High repetition work does not burn stout and tone muscle, at least not to that point area of your body. Doing high repetition with light weight may boost muscle glycogen depletion and may boost rate of stout loss but that is done in conjunction to a negative caloric intake. Your main training should still focus on moving heavy weights since that’s the only way to provide stimulus for the body. So doing 500 situps per day will not give you a six pack, not when your tummy is roofed by a thick layer of fats. Similarly, effective your biceps with pink baby weights for 5 summary a piece won’t ‘tone’ it up. Training with light weights and high reps will not help much in strength gains too (except endurance strength, which isn’t really valuable in real life unless you demand it in your activity).
Another well loved dogma is that muscle will turn into fats when you stop training them. I shake my head when I hear this. How ignorant can people be? Muscle tissues and stout tissues are different altogether, just as skin is to bones. You can’t simply turn your skin into bones can you? Some people do get stout when they stop training, as with many bodybuilders. They lose muscle lacking training, causing a drop in metabolism rate. Yet, they take up again to eat equally large amounts of food like when they’re training. Hence, the excess calories consumed results in stout gain. The loss of muscle coupled with the stout gain makes people reckon that muscles turned into fats.
So,
Dieting lacking weight training = loss of fats and muscle = less vital version of physically, but flabby and weak
Dieting with weight training = loss of fats and maintaining muscle mass = toned and strong
Its clear who is the winner.
To recap:
Dieting breaks down muscles, weight training builds them back
Muscles are crucial in boosting metabolism.
Strength training is more beneficial than cardio workouts
Strength train for bone health
High repetition work is quite useless
