Strength-Training: Get Fit, Burn Fat
Fitness and Fat-Burning Combined
Strength training workouts are a reasonable way to improve fitness and burn stored fat. Strength training increases the number of calories burned, and - if combined with a calorie-controlled diet - will cause the body to burn fat-tissue - including abdominal fat. In addition, strength training helps to develop particularly the upper body muscles, so you improve fitness and get into shape.
Strength-Training Improves Fat Percentage
About 45 minutes of strength training burns about 302 calories. In one year, this daily exercise routine burns a total of 110,230 calories per year - about 31 pounds of stored body fat. This fat-burning improves the body's fat-percentage - the muscle-to-fat
ratio.
Strength-Training: Fat-Burning Health Benefits
Because it helps to burn body-fat, a regular fitness workout (like strength training) contributes to better health in several ways. It helps reduce stomach fat, associated with serious illness; it assists weight loss, thus maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Finally, it releases endorphins the happiness chemicals that improve mood. These health benefits are further boosted by a balanced eating-plan.
