Exercise

Weight Loss – Afraid of Weights

April 1, 2008
By J White

Weight lifting is an excellent activity to engage in to speed up your weight loss process. By lifting, you increase your metabolism, build muscle and strength, and bring out definition in your body. Weight lifting is the total package when it comes to burning fat.

Yet, many of you guys and gals are afraid to lift weights because you fear that you’ll end up looking like Vin Diesel or like some other muscle-bound model on the cover of Muscle & Fitness. I’m sorry to say that this is just a case of your imagination getting the best of you. The fact is that you have very little chance of looking that way with the amount of weight lifting you would be doing.

To get that muscular requires years of training and a religious devotion to watching what and how much you eat. Their exercising and eating regimen is so strict, to an outside observer they would appear obsessively compulsive. In essence, it’s a job in and of itself.

That being said, you should not have any fear of one day being mistaken for the Incredible Hulk. To gain muscle mass of significant proportion as they have will not only take time, but you’ll have to be the lucky few with the genetic gifts to boot.

Not More Excuses

Weights as I said before increases your metabolism. This fact alone should inspire you to want to lift. Anything that increases your metabolism means losing fat faster. By not making weight lifting a part of your weight loss program is like having a martini without the olive. It just doesn’t work as well without it.

So if you’re serious about losing weight, get over your fear of weight lifting and start pumping iron. And this is especially true for women. The sooner you start on a program, the faster the fat will start melting away from your body.
