Mix in some resistance training with your HIIT for even better, accelerated results in reducing body fat and toning up.
Resistance training is not just for those who want to build big muscles. Most people (unfortunately, often women) get put off by the thought of resistance training because they don’t want to get “too big”. But resistance training is very important when it comes to losing weight and reducing body fat as well.
It is especially important for women. Women are more susceptible to suffer with osteoporosis in later life (the decrease of bone density). Resistance training has actually been proven to increase bone mineral density in individuals who complete regular resistance workouts.
This workout is done with dumbbells but if you don’t have a set accessible to you, you could use household items such as tins of beans to add resistance.
