Strength Training for Fat Loss

The developed world is in the middle of an obesity epidemic. The traditional strategies for managing body composition – diet adjustment and aerobic exercise – do not work well for everyone. There is good evidence that strength training, particularly with free weights, can be a valuable part of a fat management programme.

In this paper, we will explain why weight training is a valuable tool when you are working with clients who want to reduce their body fat. We will go on to provide strategies for incorporating ree weights into your programming for this kind of client. We will also look at common objections and how to deal with them.
