Put the iron in your hands and commit to a strength training routine for the ultimate fat burn. Studies have shown that just two weight lifting sessions per week can reduce overall body fat by about 3 percent in 10 weeks without even changing your current calorie intake.  But the best part is that strength training gets your body to burn an average of 100 more calories in the 24 hours after lifting than not lifting at all. By working out just twice a week, you can burn an additional 10, 400 calories or 3 pounds per year for just the after workout burn. Therefore, you will lose additional fat without having to do anything.  And as an added bonus,  researchers have found that lifting weights is better than cardio for whittling intra-abdominal fat, the fat associated with diabetes and cancer.

Ruth Loregio, of My Home Fit in Collegeville PA, recommends working out twice per week with a routine that targets all the major muscle groups. Start slowly and build up to heavier weights. For more information on starting to lift weights, visit our website or give us a call.
