The Faster Road to Weight-loss.. A Day-to-Day Training Routine that WILL give results!!

Your routine for Day 2: Lift Weight!

  And I'm not talking light weights here - no ten pound dumb-bells. With this exercise program, go for the heaviest exercises, the bench-press, and the squats...

Push yourself - HARD. With the bench-press, start with what you can, but push to reach 200 pounds. With the squats, aim to reach at least 400 pounds. Do at least three sets of at least 8 repetitions of each. This should be a part of any effective weight loss program...

  Weight training raises your metabolism, resulting in increased overall 'fuel burn'. An metabolism boost is good news if your aim is losing weight.

  A good way to manage your sets is to do a first set that is slightly heavier than you can handle, and do 8 reps of it. The second set should be just about what you can handle - do 10 reps of this. The third set should be slightly less than what you can handle - do 12 to 15 reps of this.

  Energy burn when lifting heavy weight is MASSIVE. If you have knee problems and cannot do the squats, you can STILL do the bench press. Push yourself to the limit and beyond on this day of your training regimen.
