Fat Loss Tip - Lift Weights

Fat Loss Tip #3 - Lift Weights

Yes, that's right, let’s pump some iron!

Gone are the days where the main purpose of the session is to just get a sweat on. 

When you lift weights you obviously develop muscle tissue, the more muscle tissue you have the more your body needs to fuel that new founder muscle tissue. Therefore, you can eat more food. Wait!! I can eat more food and lose fat? Yes! If you develop enough muscle tissue by providing your muscles with enough mechanical tension to force them to develop, yes you can then eat more food. 

I’m sure you will all agree that sticking to a fat loss plan is always easier when you can eat plenty of food.

I’m not talking about looking juiced up to the gills, I’m talking about looking strong, athletic and sexy!

Here is a Resistance (weights) session you can try:

 

Make sure you warm up first by doing some mobility work.
