Best Workouts For Reducing Weight And Building Muscle

Strength training not only makes you stronger but can help you to

achieve fat loss as well as tone up your hips, thighs and buttocks in the process. Would you like to find out why free-weight exercises such as the Bench Press can be so effective any time you want to get

ripped? 

• Muscle is very active at the cellular level, even when you are resting. You heighten this activity during

strength training, and, more importantly for weight loss, as you recover

afterwards. When they restore themselves

by way of protein synthesis, your muscles burn up calories from fat even after you end your workout.

Try to develop your chest muscles as much as you

can, because the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn. It makes no difference whether

you're playing chess, or doing back to

back sets of the Bench Press, or another physically

challenging movement like the Board Press.

Body fat, in contrast, makes

virtually no demands on the metabolism.
