How To Use Strength Training To Lose Weight Effectively

How Often Should I Be Training?

Fitness experts recommend, on average, an individual should perform their strength training routine three to four days per week and ensure they are not doing routines back to back, especially if the person is doing a full-body routine. Individuals should always give their body time to rest and rebuild the muscle tissues they have ‘torn’ while working out, and give themselves a day in between training for the muscles to recover and grow. This is a classic example of more is not always better, so ensure you are giving your muscles the proper rest they need for you to see the results you want to achieve. If a muscle group is still sore from the last workout, it more than likely needs a more extended rest period to recover. Experts and trainers alike also recommend individuals always warm up and cool down during a workout, as both of these actions protect the body from possible injury and allow you to stay active.
