I go on the elliptical for about thirty minutes and random difficulties. Then after I do a little lifting, not heavy weights , but light weights and lift them about 20 times, will this help or hurt me trying to lose weight? Also any other suggestions about how to lose weight are greatly appreciated.
It will help.You might gain a little weight from muscle, but you ll notice you don t have as much fat, which is a good thing..../m
I ve been following a similar plan along with eating healthy. I ve been successful so far...I ve lost 9 pounds in 3 and a half weeks. By doing some resistance training (like small weights) along with your cardio/fatburn routine, you ll build muscle mass. If you don t build up this muscle mass and dostrictly cardio, you ll only burn off water weight. With the addition of weight lifting, you ll help your body burn more calories when you do cardio and you ll tone, instead of losing just water weight and losing muslce. So no, it won t hurt you. Every little bit helps! Good luck
More cardio-vascular excercise than lifting.Don t power-lift like body builders do.Yes, muscle is hevier than fat, but maybe with us guys, lifting helps more. It s also a more enjoyable excercise than jogging or tread mills, or bikes...or aerobics. I do recomend squash...it s hilarious when you miss the ball sometimes. Sports= better than lifting for loosing weight. Like I say, It will help, but don t power lift. Do more reps with just enough weight- that s strength lifting for endueace. It burns more.But DO some cardio with it, or you won t get far.
Lifting weights will help, but keep breaking a sweat. It will depend on your activity level, metabolism, and diet. You have to stay more active and get the cardiovascular system going on a regular basis. Match this with a little weight lifting and you might wind up with some better muscle tone too.Don t forget to eat right along with it, (The right healthy things too).And dont over do it especially at first. That s common.
Weight training can drastically multiply your weight loss efforts. Lifting weights builds muscle which in turn, burns more calories, helping you to lose weight and firm up. It is much easier to keep off the weight when you weight train because your body will burn more calories even at rest. For more info go to the website below. It has a good weight lifting routine and suggestions on supplements and diet.
If your trying to lose weight what you should do is diet/eat less because, i learned in some health course that for girls, when they eat, they take in all the fat as energy, and any remaining fat is sent to your bum, and your sides, making you wide/fat. So, when you eat less then you won t gain weight!
lots of reps with smaller weights will build lean strong muscle instead of huge bulky muscle. you would LOVE yoga or tai chi for this. it s about flexibility and balance, which builds lean muscle.the up-side of building muscle is that muscles burn fat. just having muscles makes your metabolism stronger so it will be easier to lose weight if you want to.good luck!
it will definitely help. muscles burn calories, and the more muscle you have the more calories your body burns. so everyday tasks will burn more calories if have more muscle mass because of the fact that your movement involves said muscles.
If you want to loose weight, eat right, and do CARDIO for an hour a day. Do weights 3 times a week after cardio, but that will just help your muscles be defined, once you ve lost some weight.
Move to a city with a higher altitude than yours, in that city your weight will be less. OR, do you want to change your body composition, OR do you want to lower your body mass?
Lifting weights will help, but if you re trying to lose weight you may build muscle but not enough to replace all the fat you lost.
at first it will probably hurt, but when your muscles adjust it will help alot (especially if you eat protein after a good workout)
Well lifting weights dnt make you gain weights it builds up muscle not fat.The #1 way of loosing weight is running..so run!!
it will make you gain weight as far as a scale goes because muscle weights more than fat. but as far as appearance it shouldnt. depends what the area is i guess lol
if ur strictly tryen 2 lose weight, then lifting will hurt, cause muscle weighs more then fat, u will b losing fat but gaining muscle.
Its going to help you,burns calories.And you wont lose as much muscle when losing weight.
hurt. muscle weights more than fat.
Youre just toning yourself right now. Not adding on muscle....so you are doing the right thing. =]
hurt... muscle= more than fat. but you will be more toned
it will help
both
sure...cuz your burning fat and gaining muscle...but i dont dink 20 times aint gonna cut it....
