Weight training stimulates muscle growth. They place the most stress on the body and usually require many muscles to perform the movement. Weight lifting is a great exercise for losing weight because it will build muscle and muscle burns fat.
The more muscle the person has the more fat his body burns every day. It is easy weight lifting, such as with 5- or 10-pound weights, and limit this to about 20 minutes a day, every other day. Alternate walking and weight lifting during the week - take Sunday Off.
Metabolism plays a huge role in controlling weight, exercising raises body metabolism and helps to stay fit. Weight training is a type of (resistance) training to increase the strength and size of skeletal muscles primarily using bars, dumbbells and/or other equipment. Weight training is necessary for sports like bodybuilding, weightlifting and powerlifting where strength, power, and/or muscle mass are necessary.
Studies at Tufts University have shown that weight training is one of the best ways to fight the weakness and frailty that can come with age. Done regularly, strength training builds bone and muscle and helps to preserve strength, independence, and energy.
