Weights and Weight Loss
Kathy Smith's method of using weights for weight loss is extremely effective. Although, weight lifting alone will not help with weight loss if you combine cardio a few days a week with your strength routines you will notice a difference. Strength training is essential for body tone and to help increase the rate of fat loss. Adding this workout into your fitness routine can be very beneficial.
Building muscle elevates your metabolism. When you have a higher metabolism more calories are burned throughout the day. An intense strength training workout like Kathy Smith: Lift Weights to Lose Weight Vol. 1-2 can burn up to 200 calories extra than a routine without weight lifting involved. The benefits of adding strength training to your workout routines are endless.
Achieving a tone and well-sculpted body is only one of many benefits. Your overall endurance and flexibility dramatically increases when you build muscle. This can protect your joints from injury and the crippling condition of osteoporosis. When you lift weights on a regular basis your bone mass increases and strengthens. Kathy's workout and other muscle building routines improve your health and overall energy levels.
The ability to mix-and-match between workouts makes this a must for every collection. This DVD combines all of Kathy's Lift Weights to Lose Weight routines with a visually impressive stability ball workout filmed in black and white. The stability ball exercises incorporate plank-style push-ups with other toning techniques for a full routine.
