Resistance training is a type of exercise where the muscles are working
against a resistance of some kind. This can be weights or tubing, but also
the own bodyweight. Calisthenics, and other methods like Callanetics, The
Bar Method, The Lotte Berk Method, but also Pilates all have exercises
where the own body weight is used as a form of resistance.
Resistance training improves the figure (no spot-reducing!) and
increases the muscles, so that calories are burned more efficiently.
Typical resistance exercises are weight training and bodybuilding, but
also group exercise programs like body-pump, bodysculpt, sculpt and tone,
body conditioning and body toning. Even the programs like Callanetics, the
Bar Method, the Lotte Berk Method are forms of resistance training.
Strength training should be an integral part of any fitness program.
We're not talking about bulking out, but rather strengthening muscles
throughout your body with practical resistance exercise. Numerous medical

ages. Chad Tackett, a personal trainer and fitness expert, offers his
advice on how to incorporate strength training into your exercise program.

A Fat-Loss Program That Actually Allows You To Build Strength
AND Muscle? How Is That Possible?
It's possible with a scientifically-designed program that
harnesses and applies the real power of your own natural
metabolism.
With the right training and nutrition, your body is fully
capable of building muscle even when on a fat-loss program.
You see, your body reacts to certain nutrients and certain
training styles in very predictable ways.
By exploiting your body's natural reactions, the right
program not only maximizes the positive fat-burning and
muscle-building effects of Growth Hormone, it also maximizes
the anabolic effects of Insulin while minimizing Insulin's
possible negative impact on fat burning.
It's a combination that has the potential to transform your
body in a remarkably short period of time!
Let me put it this way - if I only had one program that I
could do for the rest of my life, this program would be it.
