Their are numerous benefits to strength training. In the fitness industry you meet a lot of people who don't want to lift weights because they think that it will make them bigger. When your goal is fat loss, which is the case for the majority of clients that hirer trainers, building muscle is essential to your success. The more muscle you have on your body the less fat you will have. Muscle also takes more energy to maintain than fat, so the more muscle you have the more calories your body will burn to maintain these muscles. People are often so concerned with weight-loss that they judge their progress solely on what the scale reads which is a recipe for disappointment. So many different factors effect the scale, you will drive yourself crazy stepping on it every morning awaiting results. The most effective way to lose fat and build muscle is to eat the right foods, strength training, drinking enough water, and getting plenty of sleep.


 Cardiovascular exercise is an important factor to your health, but not necessarily the most effective for fat loss. Combined with the previously mentioned activities it can definitely help you reach your goal, but just doing cardio isn't going to help you build the muscle you need to burn fat. People who only do cardio usually burn as much muscle as fat, so they might lose weight, but their body composition will stay the same. My advice to anyone who's goal is to lose fat, is go to the gym and start training! The more muscle you build, the more energy you will burn at rest. Learn how the body works and then make it work for you! Their really is no better feeling in the world than being fit and healthy!!
