If you are adult in America today, there is a high probability that you are overweight. While the definition of being overweight varies from person to person, you’d probably like to lose a few pounds.
Most people are aware that in order to lose weight, you need to eat less, and exercise more. Although this can be difficult to do, at least most people are aware of this.
Eating less is pretty straightforward. Less fast food, sugary, fatty food. More lean meats, and vegetables.
Getting more exercise is where many people have problems. Many people naturally assume that in order to lose weight, you need to do long, slow cardiovascular exercise, like running or bike riding. Many people are unaware of the benefits of strength training. Most women are afraid that strength training will have the opposite effect, and create big, bulky muscles.
Nothing could be further from the truth. First of all, it is much harder for women to get big muscles than it is for men. We can thank mother nature for that.
The main benefit of strength training is that it increases your lean muscle mass, which in turn increases your resting metabolism. This means you burn more calories while you are just sitting around. I don’t know about you, that sounds pretty good to me.
So how do you get lean muscle mass? Easy. Low weight, high reps. And try to target large muscle groups, rather than isolating small ones.
The best way to do this is through body weight exercises. Push ups, sit ups, yoga, squats. Especially squats. Squats work your legs, your behind, and your lower back.
The combination of a good diet, and a decent strength training habit will do wonders for your body shape. Your weight will drop off, and your self-esteem and self-confidence will soar.
