Increase you chance at weight loss success.

If you are currently trying to lose weight what are you doing? If you do not say that you have a resistance training program you are selling yourself short. I know many people are concerned that they don't want to build muscle and get big. Very few individuals have the ability to build very big muscles and if you are performing the right routine you will never have to worry about bulking up.

A resistance training program is key to any weight loss routine. Here are a few reasons why you must incorporate a strength program. Numerous studies will show that lose who participate in a cardio and resistance program will lose significantly more weight. If you are performing a good routine you will also burn more calories then cardio will after you are finished exercising. Resistance training causes more of a disruption in your body and it will take longer for your to recover. During this recovery you will burn calories.

This type of workout is the only why to build lean muscle. This is what scares some people. However, muscle is pretty dense and even if you build muscle you might actually get smaller as long as you are losing fat. Cardio exercise is catabolic, meaning it turns your body into a state where it basically eats itself for energy. Yes you will lose weight performing cardio if you are eating correctly but some of the weight will be from muscle mass. I always laugh at those commercials for diet pills that will tell you to take their pill and you will lose weight. You don't even have to change your daily routine. Then they show their studies that 80% of weight loss is pure body fat. What is the other 20% then? Why would you want to lose anything but body fat. That means, if their study is even legitimate, that people were losing muscle mass and water weight. In the same commercial it also says in the fine print that diet and exercise are necessary.

There are no magic pills. Never rely on a supplement to lose weight. Some may help a little but you should never count on it. Perform your exercise routine and eat healthy and you will lose weight fast and effectively.
