Weight Loss using Strength Training

January 12, 2009


Weight has been and will always be one of the biggest concerns of women. Today, there are chains of institutes across the globe simply committed to the cause of providing better health and fitness to women. There are vast diet plans, nutritional guidance and gym trainer just to let you achieve that perfect body shape of your desire.

Fitness experts define two types of individual who are overweight. One category is of those people who are carbohydrate –sensitive. The second types of people are calorie-sensitive. This means that for some women, it is simply takes increased amount of carbohydrates to increase weight and for others calories do the same work.

But whatever be the nutritional plan, as per your dietician, your permanent weight loss can not be achieved unless strength training is included in your curriculum. The reason is that with strength training, you are able to develop muscles in exchange of existing body fat.

Since muscles burn calorie even at rest (while you are sleeping or sitting), just imagine how many advantages your have! By muscles, we do not mean to develop all muscular body. Under normal circumstances, no women can develop muscles the way a man can. This is because the amount of  testosterone required to built muscles in men are not available in women’s body, normally.

Simple stretch training exercises that can be done at home are explained. For the exercise of knee, you may put weight on the ankle and be seated on a chair. Lift leg outwards and upwards by counting four. Bring the leg back by counting till four, again. Repeat for 10 times, rest for half a minute then repeat with other leg.

For the hip region, once again wear weight on the ankle. Lie down, sidewards. Pick leg up to achieve 45 degree angle against body. Count till four by moving it up and also when bringing it down. For starters, repeat this 10 time at least with each leg and increase gradually.
