Don't neglect your lower body, it contains the biggest muscles. Bigger muscles working, means more fat being burned. A lower body workout really makes you sweat, with all of those squats, lunges and deadlifts.
Strength training also burns more calories than cardio on a day to day basis.
So if you want to build muscle and burn fat don't skip the low bod!
Now if you want to maximize muscle gains/definition remember to hold your lift at its peak. Don't rush through reps just to complete a set. Holding at the peak is known to activate hard to hit muscle fibers.
When you get to the part of the rep where your muscle is contracted, wait a second or two before lowering back to start. The peak is the hard part, like when the weight is at your shoulder during a bicep curl. Or your arm is extended during a triceps kickback. Remember to squeeze the muscle and hold it.
Use these tips to get the most out of your workouts and to see fantastic results!
Lift Smart!
