A few years ago i saw myself in the mirror and thought. I want to lose weight because this body couldn't be mine anymore. So when i made this decision i knew that to have steedy weight loss results my healthy eatinh habits should go in parallel with exercise.

So after the cardio check i did and my doctor assured me that everything was ok i added to my training program the resistance training because it helps to burn calories and keeps body strong.

Benefits

Resistance training increases the lean muscle mass on your body and for this reason it is vital to use this kind of exercise in your weight loss program.

Dumbbells, weight machines, water bottles to name a few are some tools you can use to start this kind of training. Also your own weight can be used for resistance training to do pushups, squats etc.

If you don't convinced that resistance training can help you very much on your way to weight loss i would like to tell you that between two persons which have the same height and weight one of them is flabby and the other has lean muscle, the second one would look smaller because muscle takes less space on the body.

Don't be afraid of using resistance training on your schedule that you get bulky. This fear is not realistic. People who gain bulk in most cases are people who want for their personal reasons to gain it and usually are professional bodybuilders.

You are not going to get bulky only by doing strength training the physical way.
