I was reading the sticky and it said lifting weights is the most effective way to lose calories and build muscles/get fit
is that true ?
And If it is, is there a way to "lift" without weights? using your own body mass ? What kind of exercises would that entail? Thanks
The most effective way to lose weight without life threatening drugs is by simply eating less, eating better, and becoming more active.
And by becoming more active I mean sitting as little as possible, always getting up and walking around, finding stuff to do etc etc.
Exercise is nice and can help you lose weight faster, but it's not really needed.
But if you DO want to speed up weight loss then you'll have to do large amounts of cardio to burn more excess energy, and some minor full body resistance training once or twice a week to build and maintain muscle mass.
that resistance training can be weights, machines, kettleballs, or simple bodyweight stuff like pushups situps squats chinups etc etc.
Resistance is resistance.
That's it.
That's all there is too it.
