Are you wishing that the results of your fat loss programme would come faster? Do you want to look in the mirror and really see the difference? In fact, you want other people to see the difference too, plus you want more than just "a little tone". Maybe you want a nice hard chiselled six-pack with a narrow waist and tight abs, or maybe streamlined, muscular thighs. Muscle definition is everything and makes all the difference. Lose the fat. Here’s how…
When you train with weights, two things happen; first by positively stressing your muscle through exercise, you stimulate growth of new muscle tissue. This results in you burning more energy, which means you also burn more calories. Secondly the body will burn additional energy to maintain the muscle tissue that is being regularly stressed.
Many women worry that by weight-training they'll get big muscles - this is not the case. By weight-training, you'll tone, tighten and shape your physique! You can find some great routines here
Do cardiovascular exercise at least twice a week
Low intensity cardiovascular exercise plays an important role in any fat loss program. Of primary importance, low intensity cardiovascular exercise stimulates the release of fatty acids from tissue. This has two benefits - first, you're actually burning fat, second, your body will up-regulate the enzyme systems necessary for burning fat more efficiently. So you burn more fat and you burn it faster.
The second reason why you want to do some regular cardio work is that it helps protect your heart. Good cardiovascular health is vitally important to your long term condition and longevity.
