It is a common misconception that in order to lose weight, someone must a) eat like a mouse and b) exercise like a madman. While diet and exercise are important, just as important is the composition of the weight on the body. Someone weighing 200 pounds with a body fat index of 20% is in a different situation from someone else who weight 200 pounds and has a body fat index of 10%. The second individual has more muscle mass than the first. This will cause the second person to burn more calories during inactivity than the first.
Another common misconception about weight training and weight loss is that cardio exercise should be done to lose the initial weight before undertaking weight training. In fact, the opposite is true since muscle is an active calorie burner than fat. Weight training alone will not be enough to burn off the pounds though. Weight training combined with cardio work and an intelligent diet all work together to turn the human body into a fat burning machine. Weight training doesn’t mean your turn yourself into the next Arnold either. Starting off, you should do weight training 3 days a week, leaving at least one day between each workout. The workout should target all of the major muscle groups (arms, chest, back, legs, etc). As you advance, you can increase your workout frequency to 4 to 5 days a week.
