Women and Weightlifting example Nataliya Kuznetsova (Part 1) :
Whats the source for burning calories? Your metabolism right? During
aerobic training, you only burn the most calories during that workout
session and your metabolism usually slows down there after. With
weightlifting on the other hand, not only do you burn calories while you
lift, but your body continues to burn calories hours and hours after
your workout is over. When your muscle fibers break down while lifting,
it takes energy to rebuild these muscles. And what energy is your body
using? Yep, calories. Lots and lots of calories.
So even when
your asleep, your body is still burning calories. Thats the higher
advantage weight lifting has over any other aerobic exercise. Don't get
me wrong, aerobic exercises does promote your metabolism to burn more
calories just not as effective as anaerobic training would. Dont worry
about getting massively huge, you can adjust the amount of weight and
reps you perform and sculpt the way you want your body to look.
