Resistance Training

As you watch more and more of these videos you will probably start to realise that of all the methods of training there are, the one I always recommend is resistance training.

Resistance training is doing an exercise against resistance – it could be using your bodyweight to do a press-up or a squat for example or lifting a weight, doing something like a bicep curl.

The reason why I love it so much is that resistance training has a huge list of benefits that more often than not, tick all the boxes of people’s goals.

If someone wants to be able to move better, have fewer niggling pains, improved posture - resistance training will help.

If someone wants to improve their longevity and quality of life, resistance training will reduce the risk of things like arthritis and osteoporosis.

If someone wants to look better, they want to “tone up”, as I’ve just touched upon, resistance training will help.

Physically it has so many benefits.

It also has a lot of benefits mentally too.

The confidence it gives people when they can feel themselves getting physically stronger.

The feeling of accomplishment when you can comfortably do an exercise that before you struggled with.

The focus and presence of mind it requires during a workout that allows you to switch off from what is going on elsewhere in your life and gives you that bit of you time.

It is because of all of these benefits, that resistance training is what I recommend for your training on this programme.

Now as I have mentioned previously, enjoying the training you do is essential for maintaining the results you get.

Which is why I recommend some resistance workouts that I think will work best for you to start with, which take into consideration whether you will be training at home or in a gym, how long you have to train, and also your training experience, to ensure you always feel comfortable and confident in anything you are doing.

However, if you don’t enjoy these workouts, then again that is no problem. Don’t force yourself to do anything you don’t enjoy doing.

Sticking to your calorie target, and step target is enough for you to achieve your weight loss results.
