I never really considered weight lifting before but you’ve mentioned that both sexes benefits from this so I guess I’ll have to re-consider.

I think a lot depends on your age. I am an older guy. 20 years ago it was nothing to take of 10-20 pounds. Now it is near impossible.

Building lean muscle tissue isn’t easy and hiring a personal trainer OR getting an instructor at your gym to provide you with pointers on how to get into shape is essential!

Weigh Lifting is one of the best exercise to firm the muscle and more healthier way than dieting although these two will come up a good result.

Best,

Hi,

it is so nice to see weight loss and weight lifting tips on here geared towards men. Most of the stuff on the internet is geared towards women. Although I am a woman, I am always looking for information for my husband. Thank you for such an insightful site.

weight lifting is a great way to gain increased lung capacity and cardio workout, but its also very important to have the correct posture whilst lifting weights.

Resistance training is crucial for muscle and bones.

I have no lost a total of about 55-60 pounds in 1.5-2years since my last physical. My highest peak was at 208 or 210 and I had high cholesterol and an inflamed liver. Now that I’m down to about 150 (5′9″ tall), I’m trying to gain some weight back because I was told I’m too skinny.

It’s actually pretty darn hard to gain weight compared to losing it . I know weight lifting and exercising is for the health, but I’ve just been sitting in front of the computer for the whole year or more, but just slowed down on snacking and eating less rice. It really works.

Be honest with yourself. Do not try to be superhuman. You will fail if you “change everything.” All I ask is that you realize that you are human and have limits to the severity of what you can do and sustain

Well its not lots of training nor no food that will make you healthy. A mixture of both will do the trick (At least what it has done to me) You can create a bodyweight routine that will also accomplish these goals. Your muscle’s don’t care about where the resistance comes from as long as there’s resistance and a good source of protein.

I agree. While your diet will be the factor in the amount of weight you lose, your workout level will determine how much of that is fat and how much is muscle. Plus, by building muscle you will inevitably lose more fat in the process!

Thanks for the post!

All the Best,

Great article. Strength training, whether with weights or just body weight, is a big part of my workout. It helps me build the muscles that I need to do my cardio exercises.

And for all the girls out there, ditch the dinky 3lb weights. Strength training will not make you bulk up.

I don’t think weight lifting help that much for loosing weight.
