Lifting weights to build muscle and help with weight loss?

marilyn asked:


Well, I’m planning on starting a diet/workout routine, and I’ve heard that if you lift weights and build some muscle first, you burn calories faster and more efficiently. We have an elliptical, so I’ll be doing cardio on that, and I believe my mom has some of those little one arm weights hanging around somewhere. For someone who’s never done this sort of exercise, what weight should I start with, how should I do my workout, for how long, and how often? I’m 15 and about 40 lbs overweight for my height, and any advice is appreciated!

I am looking to loose weight the healthy way with exercise and healthy living. My goal is to loose 1-2 lbs per week and I have decided to utilize the Weight Watchers Flex Point system to help me on the food end. Now I need to know how to work out the right way. How long should I walk/lift weights? Should I alternate days? Is is okay to work out for a half hour or should I go longer? Is it more important to walk a mile in 17 minutes if I can or should I still walk the whole 30 minutes? What kind of strength training should I do and for how long? So much to know. Please Help. Thanks

I’m a 44 year old man and I work out regularly at a gym about 5 days/week. My routine consists of weight training followed by running on a treadmill. I feel like my training has hit a plateau over the last 2 months. What is a good alternative to weight training and running that might help to shake things up and shock my body out of this plateau state?
