While it may not burn as many calories during the workout as cardio, it increases muscle mass, which boosts your metabolism and helps you burn more calories throughout the day, even at rest. Strength training also has an "afterburn" effect, meaning your body continues to burn calories after the workout as it repairs and builds muscle.
Functional strength training focuses on improving your ability to perform everyday tasks by strengthening muscles used in daily movements. It engages multiple muscle groups and joints, enhancing balance, coordination, and strength. Unlike traditional strength training, it prioritises movements that mimic real-life activities, helping with tasks like lifting, bending, and reaching, and improving overall stability and mobility.
Strength training is beneficial for weight loss as it helps build muscle, which increases metabolism and burns more calories, even at rest. It also improves body composition by reducing fat and increasing lean muscle mass. Combined with a healthy diet, strength training can support sustainable weight loss and boost overall fitness, making it an effective part of a weight loss plan.
After strength training, it’s important to eat a meal rich in both protein and carbohydrates to support muscle recovery and replenish energy stores. Protein helps repair and build muscles, while carbohydrates restore glycogen levels used during exercise. Good options include lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, or plant-based proteins paired with whole grains, fruits, or vegetables.
It's also important to stay hydrated!
