Find workout plans that work and stick with it to achieve long term fat loss
There are many workout plans available which can seem rather daunting for someone first starting out. The general rule for exercise plans with a goal of weight loss, is to focus on weights and end with a cardio workout. This approach has proven to be succesful for many dieters.
Body trainers encourage that we include weights along with our cardio workouts. A huge benefit of weight lifting is that you continue to burn calories hours after the workout.
If you are new to weights and cardio, it is important to start slowly. The body will initially not be used to the strain it will be placed under. If you rush into a workout plan expecting rapid weight loss, you will more than likely injure yourself. The joints will slowly adapt to your lifestyle change. Be sure to continue to make changes to your workout because as the body gets used to the exercise, it will perform it with maximum efficiency and will require less calories to do so.
Weights
For optimum fat loss and to get the most out your workout, start with weights and end with cardio. The reason for this is that weight lifting involves high intensity exercises. It is important to be in our prime when using weights to reduce risk of injury. Weight lifting also depletes our glycogen stores (carbohydrates). Our cardio workout can then be focused on burning fat.
For those just starting out with weight lifting it's important to ease into it slowly. Do workouts that work the entire body (compound exercises). One thirty minute workout should work your arms, back and legs. The amount of resistance in each exercise should be enough so that you can do 15 repetitions of the exercise. This procedure should be repeated three times. Be sure to take a two minute break after each set.
As you improve and add resistance dedicate one day to specific body parts. For example Monday focus on your triceps, shoulders, and abs, Tuesday focus on your back and calves, rest on Wednesday, work your chest, biceps, and abs on Thursday, rest on Friday, and on Saturday work your legs. Repeat for the next week.
After each weight session proceed to a Cardio session.
