However, it’s important to understand how lifting weights can help you achieve your fitness goals. Here, we will discuss the importance of lifting weights for fat loss and muscle gain:   Should You Lift Weights for Fat Loss? Yes, absolutely. It’s important to note that your workout routine for fat loss involves lifting weights and using cardio to assist in burning extra calories. When you start lifting weights, your body puts in an additional effort. To fuel that extra effort, the body burns the stored calories to generate energy. As a result, the more weight you lift, the more calories you burn. Additionally, weight lifting increases your metabolic rate, which means you continue to burn calories even after your workout session ends. Of course, it goes without saying that you need to be in a calorie deficit while you lift weights to ensure you lose weight. It so happens that the body burns stored calories to make up the deficit to reach the maintenance calories and burn additional calories to generate fuel […]

Is it better to work out in the morning or at night?

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
For men, an evening workout offered more benefit. For women, the answer varied, depending on whether the goal was to burn fat or build muscle. There is no wrong time to exercise, but there may be some times that are more right than others. The best time of day to exercise can depend on your gender and even whether you want to burn fat or get stronger, according to a helpful new study of men, women and exercise timing. It found that, for women, morning workouts zapped abdominal fat and improved blood pressure better than late-day training. For men, evening exercise led to greater fat burning and better blood pressure control. Evening exercise also amplified the benefits of strength training, but more so for women. Studies of exercise timing are part of the burgeoning science of chronobiology, which focuses on how our internal clocks affect almost every aspect of our physiology. Human bodies, like those of other mammals, plants, reptiles and insects, operate on an innate 24-hour circadian rhythm, with a master clock system in our brains sending and receiving biochemical signals that coordinate with molecular clocks inside our cells to direct a boggling symphony of biological processes. This rhythm, […]

With temperatures getting colder, it may be tempting to get back to the gym. But experts still warn against exercising indoors alongside other people: You might not be able to properly distance to avoid infection with the novel coronavirus. “Some people think you can work out safely in a gym as long as you wear a mask, but the reality is, anytime you’re indoors, you’re vulnerable to COVID-19,” says Ramsey Shehab, M.D., a sports medicine specialist at Henry Ford Health System.
