How to Get Leaner Overall
The best approach is a combination of aerobic exercise and whole body resistance training. Each type of exercise has a different fat-loss effect. Resistance training makes all of your muscles more metabolically active, meaning that they burn more calories all day long, when they’re strong. Plus, those who do only aerobic exercise tend to become more efficient at it, meaning that their bodies eventually learn to conserve fuel while doing aerobic exercise, which means less fat loss. Those who combine weight training with aerobic exercise have a much better rate of fat loss.
When doing your weight training, try to emphasize working the larger muscle group , like your legs, your back and your pectoral muscles. The smaller muscles, like the shoulders and arms, contribute much less to the overall metabolism. For best results, do weight training two to five days per week., with either a full body workout or a split program on which you work different bodyparts on different days. The more often you exercise, the better the result, obviously.
