One of the main problems of keeping fit is to stay motivated. At the beginning we start with great intentions to keep fit and lose weight. The exercises start off as fun. They are challenging and push us to the limit. We feel sore the next day but we know we are getting fitter and stronger. It feels like we are making progress.

Or if you have started lifting weights, you may be doing it wrong if your goal is to lose weight and not build up your muscles. Here's the one type of exercise you need to do to lose weight. Weight lifting is by far the best way to workout to stimulate your body to burn fat and keep it off permanently. The metabolic boost you get from lifting heavy weights is far above that of jogging or walking. But to get the most out of your workouts, you have to lift properly. This means doing multi-joint compounds lifts instead of isolation lifts that only involve one of your joints.

Your chest, triceps, shoulders, forearms, and even your core. That's much more muscle mass being used, which means more calories burned now and later (during the healing process)So why waste...more
