For many women the idea of picking up a dumbbell or laying on a bench with a barbell above your head can be intimidating.
But the fact is that if you’re looking to burn fat this is the way to go… and no, you won’t bulk up.
There is a big misconception that women who lift weights get big and manly looking but that’s far from the truth. Women lack the amounts of testosterone that men have, and since it is the hormone highly responsible for your ability to gain muscle mass it’s just not going to happen.
And men naturally have more muscle mass than you and I, you won’t get manly. You will increase your metabolism though, you will lose body fat and you will tone up.
But it takes lifting weights and lifting real weights to get the most results with your body. A great fat burning workout has big motions and works big muscles so you burn the most amount of calories possible and tone your entire body.
Some of the best fat burning exercises to include in your weight training includes:
Squats, lunges, bench press and push-ups, etc.
And how long does weight training take? It doesn’t have to take you longer than 45 minutes max! And that includes your weight training and a little bit of cardio! When the two are paired together you get the best results possible.
