You might be thinking, Duhh…. I know this already. But does your diet plan includes weight training? The American Heart Association, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and even the American College of Sports Medicine encourage people to participate in aerobic exercise to help control weight and improve metabolic health. There is more and more proof that weight training is the key ingredient of a good exercise program. Regular weight training, encourages fat loss, improves metabolic health and builds strength.
Weight Training Promotes Weight Control
A study initiated by Robert Hickner through the East Carolina University researchers, proved that weight-training showed great increases in:
- Energy levels
- Metabolic rate
- Fat use in both obese and slender men and women especially the stomach area
- and more!
Final Thought
No matter what your goals are, you cant reach it without weight training.
