Would it be useful to learn how to get in shape, add years to your life, keep your body fat down and have more time in your day?
Oh, come on, who said NO?
Resistance exercise obviously has much more to offer than just size and strength increase. While increased lean muscle from heavy intense resistance training causes a desirable increase in metabolism and lost body fat. There is also a tremendous weight management benefit to performing two to three weight training workouts per week.
When the muscle tissue’s energy stores have been depleted during resistance exercise, the replacement of these stores becomes a priority to the body. Basically, on a proper diet, adipose tissues are drawn from to replace exhausted muscle stores. This decreases the fat weight and increases the muscle weight.
The key to resistance exercise, and this fat conversion, is to perform medium to high rep, medium intensity, long duration, and frequent exercise using basic compound movements involving as much muscle as possible to maximize the depletion of energy, promoting a greater recovery fat release during repletion.
Ok, what does that really mean?
Big movements such as the presses, compound leg exercises such as leg press, compound barbell and dumbbells exercises.
So what types of exercise equipment and fitness equipment count as resistance machines?
The following list contains the most important gym equipment machines and exercises
Commercial Gym
Bench Press for chest, shoulders and triceps
Leg press and squat rack for legs
Lat pulldown and vertical rowing for back, traps and biceps
Home Gym
Multi gym such as the Bodycraft or Powertec range
Dumbbell set
Treadmills, Exercise Bikes and Rowers
And what about the cardio ,machines I hear you cry?
If budget allows then some cardio would be great to add variety and work purely on the cardio vascular system.
Commercial gyms would be advised to look at nothing below a light commercial treadmill such as the Proteus range.
It may look enticing to go cheap now but when your treadmills break down and the manufacturers won’t cover you when they find out that the units went into a commercial gym then the members may beginning to cancel their memberships.
