Strength Training ESSENTIAL for Long-Term Weight Loss

People often try and lose weight by just dieting and doing cardio. They don’t care about strength training.

The problem: When you put your body in fat-burn mode (by decreasing your calorie intake and/or doing cardio), your body is also in muscle-eating mode. For every pound of fat you lose, you’ll also lose a pound of muscle…unless you do strength training.

Muscles are “use ‘em, or lose ‘em.” If you don’t use them, they’ll deteriorate, especially if you’re dieting.

At first, dieters don’t care they’re losing muscle. They keep their eye on the scale and are elated as their weight decreases.

But if you let your muscle atrophy, you also let your METABOLISM shrink. Which means you’ll have to eat like a bird to maintain your weight loss.

This common dilemma explains America’s depressing diet statistics: About 95% of dieters end up re-gaining their weight…PLUS some. That “plus some” is because they allowed their muscle to deteriorate, which lowered their metabolism. After all that hard work, a dieter ends up even fatter in the end.

Note: 50lb dumbbells are not required for strength training. If you can lift a lot—that’s great. But strength training could be simple bodyweight exercises, like squats, lunges, and push-ups.

Rest assured that strength training will burn just as much fat as a good cardio session. This was tough for me to believe at first. Cardio made me huff and puff and sweat like a beast the entire workout, whereas strength training involved little bouts of rest after each tough “push,” and it didn’t make me sweat as much. So it felt like strength training was a waste of time.

But it wasn’t until I added strength training to my workouts that I FINALLY lost weight. Then I added the orgasmic lifestyle…and my weight dilemmas were pretty much obsolete! :)

Lol My gym has "Love Hurts" playing. Is that supposed to be motivating?? Lol
