While proper diet is a major factor in losing the fat you hate so much, including weight training is another essential factor as well. If you’re new to the gym and weight training, don’t let silly myths confuse you, either. Men and women need not train any differently in the weight room. In terms of the way we build and maintain muscle mass, there is virtually no difference.
You may be surprised to know the following two facts: lifting weights builds muscle, which indirectly burns fat and performing cardio and eating properly directly burns fat. The combination of an increase and maintenance of muscle mass and a loss in body fat will give you a lean, shapely and defined body.
