A little help with strength training...

LikeNoOneElse84

I'm semi new to the weight loss world and have been hearing about strength training. I've been seeing that it helps with weight loss and final results. Can anyone who has successfully done strength training point me in the right direction so I can help tighten my belly and help get rid of these unsightly back rolls.

Strength training isn't really going to help with saggy skin like you are describing. Good old cardio will be the best bet to get rid of rolls and such; however, strength training will help the muscles underneath that skin/fat tone up to make it look better faster. Sorry, not much help but those areas are hard ones to "fix". Good luck!

don't have the saggy skin problem at the moment. I'm hoping the strength training will keep that from happening.

my trainer at the gym is always telling me to do 3 days of strength training and 3-4 days of cardio. he also tells me that your body continues to burn more calories throughout the day when you do strength training.

i'm doing jillian michael's 30 day shred(day 3) and she mixes in strength and cardio. she says it's because it's the most effective way to rid your body of fat.

good luck mama!!
