Weight Loss Training 

Weight loss with the help of weight training is very effective, but it should obviously be coupled with a healthy balanced diet according to your needs. Weight training is basically done to make the muscles stronger, boost up the body metabolism and thereby burn calories and fat. It is a know fact that a body needs to be calorie deficient to lose weight, this can be done by controlling the calories in (portion size) and increasing the amount of calorie expenditure. Weight training also known as strength training or endurance training involves a series of exercises in which extra stress is put on the body muscles using weights or ones own body weight. Successful weight training in losing weight is possible when a person focuses on 4 aspects of weight training, 1) how often training is done that is the frequency, 2) intensity that is how hard you do the training, 3) type of exercise you do and 4) time devoted for the exercise.


You can start your personal weight training by setting a particular realistic goal and understanding the basic principles of weight training. Sufficient weight should be used at a time to do just about enough repetitions in one activity or exercise to build up the muscle and increase metabolism.
