Strength Training for Weight Loss: Effective Exercises & Tips

June 20, 2018 - Admin
The American College of Sports Medicine in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommend 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. People trying to lose weight or maintain lost weight should exercise more. Resistance training, such as weight lifting, increases strength and muscle mass, improves body composition, reduces cardiovascular disease risk factors, and enhances psychological well-being. Strength training exercises are essential for weight management. The best strategies for weight control include reducing caloric intake and regular physical activity that includes aerobics and resistance training for weight loss.
