Weight-Lifting: Get Fit, Burn Fat
Fitness and Fat-Burning Combined
Weight lifting workouts are a reasonable way to boost fitness and burn stored body fat. Weight lifting burns calories, and - if combined with a calorie-controlled diet plan - will cause the body to burn fat-tissue - including abdominal fat. In addition, weight lifting helps to develop the bicep and tricep muscles, so you improve fitness and reshape your body.
Weight-Lifting Improves Fat
Percentage
About 45 minutes of weight lifting burns about 180 calories. In one year, this daily fitness routine burns a total of 65,700 calories per year - about 19 pounds of stored body fat. This fat-burning improves the body's fat-percent - the muscle-to-fat
ratio.
Weight-Lifting: Fat-Burning Health Benefits
Because it helps to burn body-fat, a regular fitness workout (like weight lifting) contributes to better health in several ways. It helps reduce stomach fat, associated with serious illness; it assists weight loss/control, thus maintaining normal cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Finally, it releases endorphins the happiness chemicals that improve mood. These health benefits are further increased by a healthy diet.
