Exercise to Get Fit and Build Muscles
Strength or resistance
training workouts are good for fitness and muscle building. They help
to develop several muscles in both the upper and lower body.
Strength-Training: Muscle Development
Strength training workouts are useful for bodybuilding and muscle-building, as they strengthen and develop the muscles in all areas of the body, depending on your focus. Most strength trainers exercise the arm muscles (biceps and triceps); the pecs (the pectoralis major and minor); the abs (rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus and the external and internal obliques); and the legs (quadriceps, inner thighs and calf muscles).
Strength-Training: Fitness Benefits
Strength-Training fitness regimes help to build lean tissue, burn body fat and develop a flat stomach by working the rectus abdominus. They also help to raise resting metabolic rate.
Strength-Training Workouts: Calories Burned
Exercise routines involving
resistance-training burn a reasonable number of calories. When combined
with a calorie-controlled eating plan, they help us to lose weight and
maintain a healthy body-fat percent.
