Strength training is anaerobic exercise. Or exercise done in short, intense bursts that works your body without requiring much oxygen. So, when you lift weights you are trying to reshape your muscles from flab to tone and fab. Basically, you working the muscle against some form of resistance in order to break it down and rebuild it stronger and leaner.

When it comes to weight training you need to know a couple of basic terms. Repetition- the number of times you lift a weight or complete an exercise Set- a group of repetitions of the same exercise performed without stopping.

I do cardio all the time. Do I really need to train with weights?

Absolutely! Weight training strengthens your body and allows you to perform better during cardio sessions, which will help you burn more fat. Muscles are calorie burners and weight controllers so build them up and be a real loser…weight loser that is!

How often do I need to strength train?

According to the American Council on Exercise, 2-3 times a week is plenty. But for those we need to lose a significant amount of weight or those who desire BIG results a bit more quickly…3-4 may necessary. Consult with a certified trainer to start off slowly and to find out how to develop the right routine for you and your goals.

How much weight and how many reps should I do?

I recommend you start your lifting routine with 12-15 reps per set. There are many techniques that incorporate heavier weights at lower reps but stick to the basics right now. Start with a low weight that you know you can lift. Continue increasing the weight until you reach a weight that makes you feel fatigued after 10-12 reps. Keep a lifting log and chart your progress. As you get stronger you will need to increase your weight. Always be asking your self “did I feel the burn on those last few reps?” If not, increase your weight.
