Weight Loss Workouts For Men

If I start a weight training regimen to help with fat loss,will I get bulky?Is weight training that important?

In the past 2 years I have gained about 51 pounds. I am 21 and I weigh 165lbs. That wouldn’t be so bad if I were 5’8” but I’m only 5’1”. I want to get back down to a healthy weight. About 125. (I was 114, but I think I was too small. I looked “knobby” so-to-speak. When I was 120-125 l looked great.) Anyway, I want to begin a workout routine, but I don’t know where to start. I know I need at least 30 minutes of cardio a day. How intense? Is it okay for me to lift weights? My fiance tells me lifting weights is important for fat loss, but I’m really worried about looking like a linebacker. So far in my family both women and men build muscle mass quickly even if they start off with light weight lifting. I want to build strength too, will that bulk “fall away” with some consistent light weight lifting? I used to love to run (just for pleasure and inconsistently–stress reliever), but my thighs got bigger for a while and then they got smaller. Does weight training work the same?

I took a weight training class in college, and my professor said that to tone muscles you use lighter weights and more repetitions. To build muscle mass you use heavier weights.

For weight loss purposes, muscle burns more calories than fat does, so you want a higher proportion of muscle in your body (within reason of course).

Don’t weight train the same muscles every day. They need rest in between workouts. Also, make sure to drink plenty of water because it helps flush out the waste products made by the weight training.

Good luck in reaching your goals!
