For years trainers have been telling clients that the way to rapid fat loss was through strength training using low weights with high reps. This was commonplace knowledge until recent years when a new quick weight loss exercise was discovered. Rather than focusing on high reps as an alternative to cardio training trainers are starting to lean toward low reps with more weight.
You may have heard of this new practice referred to as high resistance training. In the past it wasn’t automatically associated with weight loss and therefore isn’t widely known to be a quick weight loss exercise. However, new research shows that high resistance training is quite possibly the quickest way to build muscle mass. You may already know that muscle burns calories at a faster rate than fatty tissues. The more muscle you have the quicker you lose weight.
Ok, so lets talk about this strength training because I know a lot of you reading this are women like me and lets face it, we don’t want to be freakishly muscular. We want to be fit and slim. The good news is high resistance training is not going to turn you into the next Hulk. We are utilizing the practice as a quick weight loss exercise and nothing more. On the other hand guys, if you are wanting to have that sexy muscle bound look you are welcome to lengthen your exercise routines to build more mass.
When first starting out you may only spend a few minutes a week on your training but the results will show. We have to be realistic about our weight loss. A quick weight loss exercise is still only designed to lose 1-2 lbs a week. Losing more than 2 lbs a week after your first week of dieting is unhealthy and can be downright dangerous.
