What are some strength training exercises for weight loss?

Many girls want to have a perfect body, but they often worry about whether they will develop muscles if they train continuously like this every day! Muscles are ugly. So many girls think that they must stay away from strength training in order to lose weight. But I don’t think so. Strength training not only allows us to lose weight without resorting to cruel methods such as dieting, but also makes our muscle lines more perfect and more attractive to men.

So, if women want to lose weight through strength training, what exercises can they do? Below, the editor recommends 8 classic fitness movements for women.

Squat push-ups

1. Stand with your hands hanging naturally, your feet together, and your knees slightly bent.

2. Slowly squat down until your hands touch the ground. Place your hands on the ground and stretch your legs straight back. Then bend your elbows, lower your body and then raise it up again, doing a normal push-up.

3. Pull your legs back, straighten your upper body, return to standing position, and then repeat the movement.

Dumbbell horizontal raise

1. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, stand with your legs shoulder-width apart.

2. Open your hands to the sides of your body, bend your elbows slightly, and keep both hands on the same horizontal line.

3. Raise your arms along the sides of your body to the top of your head, your arms can be slightly bent. Then, slowly lower them along the sides of your body. Repeat the action.

Dumbbell weighted stepper

1. Stand facing a step, holding an 8-10 pound dumbbell in each hand. Step onto the pedal with your left leg, stand with your left leg straight, keep your body upright, tighten your hips, and stretch your right leg backward.

2. Pull back your right leg and lower your body until the toe of your right foot touches the ground, then lower your left leg and return to the original position. Alternate legs 10-15 times.

Barbell Bench Press

1. Lie on your back on the bench press, holding the barbell, with your hands slightly wider than your shoulders, your elbows bent to 90 degrees, and your chest, two forearms and the barbell forming a rectangle.

2. Slowly push the barbell to the highest point, then slowly lower the barbell. When lowering, the barbell lightly touches the chest, then push it again. Repeat the action about 10 times.

Front squat

1. Walk to the rack and cross your arms under the barbell, raising your elbows high and holding the barbell with your hands to control it.

2. Lift the barbell off the rack and step back, keeping your feet apart and your body balanced.

3. Bend your knees and squat down until your thighs are below parallel to the ground. As you squat, keep your head lifted and your back straight. Then slowly return to standing position. Repeat the action.

Lying Dumbbell Fly

1. Lie on your back on a flat bench, hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing each other, push up until your arms are straight, and support your body above your chest.

2. Hold the dumbbells in both hands and lower them parallel to both sides, with your elbows slightly bent. Lower the dumbbells until you feel the muscles on both sides of your chest are fully stretched, and let your upper arms fall below the shoulder level. As the dumbbells drop, take a deep breath. Exhale as you lift the bell back to the starting position. Repeat the action.

Back push-up

1. Lie on your back with your hands behind your back on a slightly higher stool, your feet on a lower stool, and the rest of your body suspended in the air.

2. Exhale, relax your shoulders, slowly bend your elbows, and sink your body as much as possible (especially your hips). Pause for 2-3 seconds, then inhale and use your arms to stretch your body back to the original position. Repeat.

I want to say to many girls that strength training is a very important project in our weight loss process. It is an excellent way to lose weight that we must not give up. Appropriate strength training can make us more attractive and more attractive to the opposite sex.
