To lose body fat fast and to keep it off for good, using the best weight lifting programs designed for weight loss will help immensely. Let me give you the exact weight lifting program style I personally used to shed body fat and get ripped six pack abs.
Weight lifting burns a staggering amount of calories, but not just while you are lifting heavy stuff. Up to 48 hours after the fact, your body is still burning off calories at a higher rate.
If this isn’t a good reason to pump a bit of weight in your workout, nothing is.
There are two main options here, the first is for somebody relatively untrained in lifting weights and if you are quite out of shape or you haven’t lifted weights for more than 3 months straight – this one is for you:
Best Weight Lifting Programs For Weight Loss – Option 1:
- Deadlifts
- Squats
- Clean and press (or military press)
- Bench press
- Calf raises
- Bent over rows
Even if you are just starting off, especially if you are a female, use really light weights for the first few sessions, you will still get amazing results – no muscle bulk, just toning the lean muscle and burning fat. Do 3 repetitions of 10 for each one.
Best Weight Lifting Programs For Weight Loss – Option 2:
- Work your body in splits e.g,
- Monday Chest and triceps
- Tuesday Back and calves
- Wednesday off
- Thursday Legs
- Friday off
- Saturday start again
This way of working out means you can maintain muscle mass you have put on over the years, by still challenging the muscle even though you are losing fat.
If you are tired of just grabbing bits of information here and there, let me help you out, big time. No strings, just a good old fashioned helping hand.
