Should I Do Resistance Training to Lose Weight?
Q: I need to lose a lot of weight and I was wondering, should i do resistance training too? and what resistance exercise should i do? i do a lot of cardio already as well.
A: A good rule of thumb for the quickest way to lose weight is to skip foods that are processed, packaged, manufactured or engineered. If it has a label on it, chances are pretty good it’s not good for you. However, and this is a big one, the hardest part about losing weight is breaking old habits like the convenience of fast food, belly busting comfort food, and emotional eating from stress or boredom.
Next, comes the exercise, but not just any exercise. You want resistance training to build muscle because muscle literally melts fat off your body by consuming all that stored fat. And keep that muscle strong by eating lean protein.
You can do resistance training right at home and without expensive or bulky weights. Get a set of bodylastics resistance bands and then join us for these: free workouts.

Do exercises that strengthen all major muscle groups; don’t neglect your legs and back. By adding and maintaining muscle mass, you will enable your body to burn more calories at rest, since muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat cells do.
