Earlier in the blog, I mentioned the idea of weight lifting to lose weight, but I did not specify what sort of weight lifting would be best or what exercises to do for it, and so I thought I would do that now.
For the best effects, you need to lift weights that engage as much muscles as possible and cause you to work hard. Therefore the best thing to do is compound exercises that work multiple muscle groups, because these will cause you to work hardest, raise your heart rate the most, burn most calories and all those muscle fibres engaged will cause a large calorie burn in the hours after your workout.
Rather than write out a workout plan, I recommend the excellent routine on here http://www.menshealth.co.uk/lose-weight/burn-fat/lose-fat-with-weights-barbell and I recommend doing it 3 times a week with 48 hours or so between workouts, eg Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.
Also, a barbell routine may seem like a thing for just men, but I recommend this to everybody, male or female.
It's a good write up but I personally don't like the light blue background be cause its white on the inside so there really isn't a contrast and it hurts the eyes aleast for me
