Exercise tips for weight loss: Resistance is NOT futile and video

Tip: Resistance is NOT futile

Many people who try to use exercise to speed up weight loss believe that the best way to do this is to do endless hours of long, slow 'cardio'.

Most believe that jogging, cycling, or walking will help with quick weight loss.

These exercises WILL help you lose some weight. However, they WILL NOT help you be a more able human being, or benefit you later in life.

So what am I getting at here?

Well, what if there was a type of exercise that could help you look after yourself better as you age, so that if you take a tumble at 70 you can pick yourself up off the floor, instead of lying there calling for help?

There is!

This is called resistance training …

Practising exercises that require you to move your own body weight through space - like push ups, squats, pullups, etc., - will stand you in good stead for your daily life because they make you stronger and prevent muscle loss. At the same time, they make you fitter and contribute towards weight loss. This is called resistance training …

Want to start exercising to lose weight and become healthier?

The FIRST THING you should start with is body weight exercises, not cardio.

The best part? You can do them anywhere, for FREE!
