Couple workout routine

In order to lose weight, it’s important to increase your rate of metabolism. Lifting weights increases your body’s rate of metabolism and keeps it raised long after the activity is completed. This is because your body has increased demand for oxygen as a result of the workout and hence registers an increase in the metabolic rate.

A weight lifting workout also helps in the development of muscles. Muscles are an important factor in raising your metabolism, as a pound of muscle can burn up to 20 calories a day whereas a pound of fat can burn only five calories. Since lifting weights helps build muscles and also burns fat, it has a dual benefit in weight loss programs. In addition, weight lifting workouts also help to strengthen the bones and increase endurance levels. For optimum results, weight lifting workouts should be combined with cardiovascular activities.

Always remember to lift more weights than your muscles are used to. You should increase the number of weights you lift once your body gets used to a particular set of weights. You should ensure that the number of weights you lift can enable you to complete the last rep with difficulty. Make changes in your weight lifting regime on a regular basis. In order to obtain optimum results, you should go slow in order to protect yourself from injury. You should only lift comfortable amounts of weight and add on slowly in order to prevent stressing your body.
