Want to firm up with weight-training and lean out in less time? Here are a few weight-training tips to help you get started.
- Warm up. Doing your warm-ups prior to starting your weight-training session helps prevent injury. Walking on the treadmill, riding the stationary bike or doing jumping jacks are some examples of warm-ups that help prepare your muscles for your fat-burning program.
- Breathe right. Proper breathing technique during your weight-lifting helps you stabilize your exertion levels and makes the exercise more efficient. Inhale while you prepare to lift the weight, then exhale while lifting it, inhaling again while lowering it.
- Work the large muscle groups first. More energy is required to work the larger muscle groups, so training them before the smaller ones helps burn maximum calories.
