Strength Training - Workouts For Size & Strength!

What is Strength Training?
Strength Training is when you perform exercises with resistance to build muscle mass and strength. Strength training is not running on a treadmill, riding a stationary bike, or using an elliptical machine. Although those types of aerobic machines use "resistance" to increase your workout intensity, it's not the same as strength training. The most common form of strength training is lifting weights. Weight lifting can include free weights, machines, elastic bands, body weight or any other form of resistance.

Gain Muscle, Lose Fat!
Why is strength training the real key to burning off body fat? The reason is because muscle tissue is the most metabolically active tissue in the body and burns up to 50 calories per pound! That means if you can add 5 extra pounds of solid muscle to your body, you will burn an extra 250 calories every day just sitting around! In a recent study, researchers found that regular weight training boosts basal metabolic rate by about 15%. Use strength training to turn your body into a fat burning, muscle building machine!
