Great post Heidi. Very informative and helpful. I also agree with you Blake. Resistance Training don’t really make you bulky, instead it will help you burn more fat and lose weight, and is also a fundamental in weight-loss plan. How? Building muscles and burning body fat are some of the benefits you get from resistance training, with this, it is possible and quiet good `cause you look firmer and more toned. Starting regular program of resistance training would be very beneficial to people who needed to manage their weight, with proper information and execution, your body shape will definitely improve. And sticking to your resistance training routine after you reach your goal will mostly likely make your weight maintenance easier because with weight training, muscles burn calories at a faster rate than the fats stored in your body. As we age, metabolism and muscles mass definitely decline, which is why many older people have hard time to excess weight. So it is better to maintain your workout regimen as close as possible. One way of helping you maintain weight without having too much expenditures is to purchase yourself a home gym machine. This way, you are most likely to do your routine everyday, and will for sure not emptying your pocket paying the monthly usage in any commercial gym.

I couldn’t agree more with all these misconceptions. Especially #1. You can walk into any gym in the country and you will see the same people doing the same steady state cardio routine every single day. These are also the people that look the same day in and day out, with no change in body composition.

Good Post! I’m living proof that number 2 is often a misconception: I’ve been lifting hard for several years now, and although I’ve gotten a good deal stronger, I’m still struggling to put on much weight.
