Lifting Weights or Resistance Training can Lead to Women’s Weight Loss

More and more women are learning that weight training is important to weight loss and is the key to toning and sculpting their bodies. Hitting the weights in addition to cardio exercise is very beneficial in the short and long term for weight loss and, more specifically, fat loss for women.

• In the short term lifting weights burns fat and calories, plus increases your body’s demands on calories for repair that are taken in for up to 36 hours after weight training.
• In the long term, muscle burns more calories than fat. It is possible that for each pound of muscle you gain, your body needs an extra 6-8 calories per hour to sustain it. That may not sound like much, but if you do the math, then that equates to enough calories for up to 15 lbs of weight loss over the course of a year. That’s just one pound of gained lean muscle tissue. If you gain at least 2-3 lbs of lean muscle. That could lead to 30-45 lbs of weight loss over the course of a year. Also, you will be toning and sculpting your body to look nice as you lose weight. This is just one of the reasons that it is easier for people in shape to stay in shape.

Cardio for Women’s Weight Loss

Doing at least three cardio sessions per week at 20 minutes each time may be all you need to get nice and lean when done in conjunction with weight training. Cardio training can also improve your circuit training due to the increased ability to recover more quickly, increasing calorie burn. Cardio itself can burn a lot of calories. Although not always necessary extended cardio can burn up to 500-800 calories each time. When cardio is done at the right time, you can go right into fat-burning within two minutes of beginning. In addition to burning calories, cardiovascular training for weight loss also conditions women’s hearts and lungs and contributes to overall health and well-being.
