Women's Health and Fitness - Weight Training To Lose Weight

Excess bodyweight is a lot easier as you mature particularly as the motivation to work out also wanes, but you can turn it around it does not matter how old you are.  You should begin to weave some sort of work out into your daily life. 

One type of work out that you should consider to do is weight training, also known as weight exercising or weight lifting.  Weight exercising will not only help with reducing bodyweight but will also trim and overall tone your system. Age does not matter it has been shown that women as old as 70 who have started to bodyweight practice and have improved their durability within a very short while.

Weight exercising is an important element in fighting flab; maybe it is the most important.  If you do fitness you only get rid of fat during the work out but with weight training you get rid of fat even when you have finished.  Our bodies is still losing fat for up to as much as twelve hours after finishing the work out whilst it is building the muscular tissue worked, so you can still be losing fat while you are resting.  But that is not the end of the story.

A system full of muscular uses far more calories than a system full of fat, so you will find that you will need to eat more to maintain your bodyweight and your muscular.   You do not need to worry that you will bulk up like a weight trainer, as you do not have the right makeup to do this, as a woman you will only elongate and define your muscular tissue, and develop muscular tissue.

When you first begin to bodyweight practice you might find that your bodyweight will actually increase. This is because muscular is heavier than fat but as muscular has a smaller footprint sized so you should notice the system getting small even if the scales do not show an decrease in bodyweight.

The additional benefits from weight training are:-

1. It allows to strengthen and increase the density of your bone because the act of the muscular tissue pulling and flexing the bone allows to lay down more bone fibre.

2.  Stronger muscular tissue allows your system to be more steady and so allows to prevent falls.

3.  It has also been found that it can fight the develop up of abdominal fat by weightlifting at least twice a week.  

Finally when weight training make sure that you change your schedule around so that the system can not get use to the schedule.  It only takes the system about six weeks for it to learn how to work efficiently if keeping to the same schedule and therefore you will stop seeing any bodyweight or system changes.

So have fun and begin weight training to shed bodyweight and overall tone your system.
