3. Strengthen Up
Strength and resistance training are highly recommended because muscle mass increases metabolic rate. So, the more muscle you have (everywhere, not just your legs), the more calories you burn daily.
Cardio combined with resistance training led to better results for decreased body fat mass and increased lean muscle than just cardio alone, according to a study published in April 2014 in the Journal of Sports Sciences. And, resting metabolic rate may increase 7 percent after 10 weeks of resistance training, per a review in the July/August 2012 issue of Current Sports Medicine Reports.
If you’re a strength-training beginner, start off with one to two sets of 12 to 15 reps for all major muscle groups with weights that tire your muscles by the end of the reps, per the Mayo Clinic.
“During your full-body workouts, I recommend compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, overhead presses, etc.” All these moves work several muscles at one time.
