Is it better to use bodyweight workouts or use weights?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

I am 12 and I have very strong cardio muscles, but not to much strength compared to some people. I am thinking about doing football and martial arts (Taekwondo, judo, BJJ, and wing chun) so I do not want to be really big and be like a muscle builder. I want to be flexible and good at jumping and still have a good cardio muscles where I can run a long time and all. But also at the same time have strength to push around people in football. So I have been reading that it is good to use body weight exercises, but my dad keeps saying I need to use weights. So which one should I do to fit my standards. And please suggest a program for me to do if you can think of a good one (I want strong legs, arms, shoulders, and a strong chest. )

what’s the difference between lifting weights the normal way or the professional body building way?

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010


I use to train with a trainer eight years ago and I quit after a while because of personal issues. I started lifting again today and I’m using the same trainer that I had 10 years ago. Since we know each other he said that he is not giving me a regular training session but a professional body building session to help me build up a lot of muscles faster. So my question is what’s the difference between the normal way of building muscles compared to the way professionals use to lift weights?

If you eat fatty foods and you lift weights will you build muscle?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Someone in school told me if you eat fatty foods its will help you build muscle. He also said if people who are already fat start lifting weights they will build muscle faster than not so fat people. Is this true? Could you give me some sort of verbal proof that proves him wrong. I know he cant be right, but i have no proof. Thanks to all answers.

Lifting weights to build muscle and help with weight loss?

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010


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!

Product DescriptionEveryone knows that dieting without exercise doesn’t work. But not all exercises are equally effective. Weights for Weight Loss explains why weight training is the best way to get in shape and provides readers with a comprehensive program that will guarantee success. The author dispels the five myths of weight training (fat turns to muscle, lifting makes for bulky muscles, weights are for men, it’s easy to get hurt, heavier is better) and details the numerous benefits of building muscle, such as gaining more energy and a more youthful appearance, and — most importantly — greater fat loss with less effort. The book features exercises for all levels of fitness, from beginner to advanced. Each exercise is clearly explained with step-by-step instructions and photos that show proper technique. Weights for Weight Loss’s specialty programs include “The 10-Minute Body Blitz,” which hits all the major muscle groups; “The 30-Minute Cardio Circuit,” where exercises are performed at a fast pace with no rest in between; and “The 30-Minute Super Sculpt,” where heavier weights are used for three sets in a row to exhaust muscles one at a time.
