The Treadmill, Aerobics and Not Getting Physique Results

When I got to work last night to meet with a client I train I was surprised to see that the weight training area was virtually empty

. Everybody was on a treadmill or a rowing machine. Now, not using weights is a big mistake if you want to achieve steady fat loss. Weight training is the number one technique I use with all of my clients and they all make great progress.

Why is it then that most people shy away from the weights area and tend to hit up the treadmills for hours on end. Don't get me wrong, I do use cardiovascular equipment in the training of my clients, but it is usually high intensity interval training (HIIT) at the end of a workout and only for 9-15 minutes. Having been in the industry for nearly a decade, I know that a lot of people shy away from the weights because they feel intimated, dont know what exercises to do or don't want to build up lots of male looking muscle (women). Well one of my female clients went from a size 12-14 to a 6-8 from doing only weight training. She corrected her posture and is now at a body weight of 55-56kg, she lifts pretty impressive weights and doesn't look at all hulk like.

To really get great fat loss results you need to ditch the treadmill and set foot into the weights area. Weight training will help build lean muscle tissue, which will help increase your resting metabolic rate, which means you'll be burning more body fat while sitting behind your desk or lounging around at home. You will also burn calories during the session, in the hundreds per hour depending on the intensity of the session and the type of exercises. You can also, if done through a full range of motion and with correct technique, improve flexibility, mobility, strength and stability.

So what do you need to do when you step into the weights area? 'Complexes' are one of my favourite and most effective routines. Complexes have become very popular recently in the strength and conditioning fraternity. Why? Because they work. Basically, a complex is circuit training using a barbell or other resistance tool. The aim is to complete a number of exercises for different rep ranges in a row without putting the barbell down.

I would also suggest a simple full body workout three times a week that includes (but is not limited to) squats, deadlifts, bench presses, lunges and rowing movements.
