How do you lose weight by weightlifting?

Answer 1

As part of a sensible diet and regular exercise, yes. Besides the relatively small amount of calories burned during weight lifting, regular weight lifting can help to increase muscle mass, which in turn increases resting metabolism. Regular weight lifting is recommended for all healthy individuals.
Yes def, low weight/high reps. Not resting for more than 60 secs between sets to keep ya heart rate up. Also get a good healthy eating plan and sleep pattern going to help your body metabolise fat. Hoped I helped :)

Answer 2

Yes, you can lose weight by cardio walking and lifting weights. In fact, that is the recommended combination for losing weight. It is the way that nearly all fitness models and bodybuilders reduce their percentage of body fat to improve their body composition.

Assuming that you are eating well (healthy foods), you should do both mild cardio training and strength training regularly to lose fat. You will not only look and feel better, but you will be healthier as well. The strength training will increase your muscle mass and that will enable you to burn more calories 24 hours a day. Brisk, cardio walking will enable you to burn additional calories during and immediately after your walks.

Furthermore, the combination of the two is sustainable (whereas, for example, combining running and weight training is not sustainable for most people).

Answer 3

It's possible but unlikely. To use up an important amount of calories(which will help with weight loss) you need to get your heart rate up and keep it up for some time. And weight training just isn't hard or consistent enough work in that way.

Weight training is usually for bulking up (gaining muscle), but yes.. you can lose FAT weight.. but gain MUSCLE weight (muscle weighs more than fat). You can lower your body composition via weight training (lower body comp is good). It's hard to explain, but you can lose fat and still gain weight by weight training is what I'm trying to say.

Answer 4

I'm not at all an expert, but I have read into this and I've found that for one pound of fat you have, you will burn a set number of calories in activity. Where as for every pound of muscle you have, you will burn MORE than that pound of fat in activity. Another thing is that, yes, you need cardio to loose weight, but cardio will just make you appear smaller. It's the lifting that will really change your body shape and even function. Good luck with lifting! =)

Answer 5

Losing fat by lifting weights is completely possible. Weight training is an activity which makes your muscles work, your heart rate go up and your metabolism work better, which makes it burn calories. This is why lifting weights in itself can already make you lose a lot of weight.

I would also like to partially disagree with Timothy's comment. There is not a one exact way or routine that makes you lose weight. Many people lose weight with high weights/low reps, since it stimulates muscle growth much better than low weight/high reps. Also, it is not true that lifting burns relatively low amount of calories compared to other exercises. Weight training is anaerobic exercising which makes your body burn calories in a longer time span, since when your muscles recover, they burn fat even better than aerobic exercising.
