Lose Body Fat via Strength Training Stay strong, ladies. Picking up the weights will build your muscle and burn calories long after your gym session. "Ladies will not bulk up," Lovitt says. "You will maintain active tissues in your body (tissue that burns calories), which makes your body more efficient at burning fat."
Lovitt recommends mixing weight training and cardio into a circuit-type workout to lose body fat. "Mixing cardio with resistance training helps blast fat and increase your metabolic rate," Lovitt says. "Essentially, you're burning body fat while maintaining muscle mass, which allows you to shred the extra pounds and see definition much more quickly." So lift -- and lift heavy.
