Good point. Thats a huge myth that I overhear personal trainers tell their clients all the time. You'll burn more total calories exercising at a higher intensity, from fat and glycogen stores. And you'll have a higher metabolism in the hours following your workout. I've seen lots of people have great results with interval sprinting programs but of course thats not for everyone
from what ive observed the tightness develops moreso in the calves and the adductors than the hammies.
I found a site with all the latest news about work out, it has alot topics, just to list a few: http://www.bestmorph.com/cgi-bin/show/tags/380-weight_lift http://www.bestmorph.com/cgi-bin/show/tags/187-strength_training http://www.bestmorph.com/cgi-bin/show/tags/216-exercise http://www.bestmorph.com/cgi-bin/show/tags/42-fitness
Sorry to dig this thread back up, but... I've lost a sizeable amount of weight and am starting to notice some loose skin under my arms. Is there anything I can do weight lifting wise to firm that up? What type of schedule should I be on to do that? Thanks...
What about a routine just to firm and tone? I do a ton of cardio already. Will just adding pushups, situps, and stretching take care of it?
incorporate compound lifts. the big three are bench press, squat, and dead lifts. what these do is they use several of your muscles to lift instead of one as in the case of isolation. starting out, go light and make sure you have the technique down. i can't stress technique enough. as you get used to it, start adding some weight.
