Weights For Weight Loss

The Fast Track To A Slimmer, Stronger, Firmer Body

When we set our sights on weight loss, most of us turn to the kind of activities that get the heart pumping, like running, swimming or aerobics. While there is no doubt that cardiovascular activity is an important part of the equation, strength training with weights is the key to helping you shed pounds, and make sure you keep excess body fat at bay - permanently.

How strength training affects your muscles depends on a number of factors - most importantly, the way you train (in terms of frequency, weight, number of reps and sets) and also what other physical activity you do, your diet and your technique. 'Weights For Weight Loss' shows you how to incorporate all this, safely and effectively, into your fitness regime. It also gives a foundation workout so that you don't do yourself serious damage, by rushing into the gym when you have never lifted weights before; and it offers 'targeted toning' for problem areas, such as bums and thighs; and gives all the information you need to make smart eating choices without feeling deprived. You won't believe what difference strength training will make to your weight loss efforts and your body shape and size.
