Burn More Calories With Weight Lifting

For reasons of their own, some people decide to never workout with weights. Just why might someone avoid lifting weights?


Everyone is different. Some people take action to lose weight while others want to build muscle. The exact reasons pertain to the specific goals of those involved. Some make a half-hearted attempt at working out, then throw in the towel. Some people cannot seem to make up their minds to go ahead and get started. Many fear the unknown, and are scared to begin.

Have you contemplated about whether or not to start working out with weights? If you remain undecided, listed below are three good reasons in favor of lifting weights that you need to consider.
Firstly, working out with weights is the fastest way to lose fat, build muscle and start seeing results. I am aware of the idea that some people have about not knowing where to start and about causing an injury. That may be a really good point, and correct. However there are several easy ways to get started. 

If it's in your budget, the best way to get started would be to hire a personal trainer and work with her for at least two or three months. Especially if you are new to working out with weights. At that point you may feel confident enough to go it on your own. There are several other good ways to ease into to working out with weights. You could purchase several inexpensive workout DVDs and start at home. 

Or you could go online and buy an exercise information program delivered as an e-book, e-manual or by video.
Secondly, lifting weights will increase your overall muscle mass. This will result in an increase in your basal metabolic rate so you will burn more calories even at rest.

Building muscle mass is not created from long cardio workouts on the treadmill or elliptical trainer. Moreover, lifting weights two or three times each week will not have you looking like an amazon on the cover of a bodybuilding magazine. Also your clothes will start fitting better and your results will become noticed by friends, family members and co-workers soon after starting a two to three day per week weight lifting regimen.

Thirdly, recent research has shown that lifting weights can have a beneficial effect on balance. This means that weight lifting workouts should be a part of every older person's fitness routine. Once more, you may want to consider your reasons for not working out with weights and take a look at all of the reasons why you should start. Then think of the benefits you would enjoy; weight loss, building lean muscle, burning more calories all day long, less neck and back pain and a host of others!

Now, once you examine these reasons, you will find that they're pretty compelling. And, considering all of that, a case can be made for having a serious look at ways to incorporate weight training into your exercise and fitness regimen.

Think about all of the benefits that you will gain from a regular weight lifting routine. You have nothing to lose and lots to gain.
