A Great Strength Training Move for Losing Weight

When people think about weights and weight lifting, they often imagine the following: huge gorilla guys in their gyms, lifting massive amounts of iron, screaming and grunting as their veins bulge, their faces go crimson and they add even more muscle to their already massive frames. No wonder this doesn't appeal to most people. However, the truth is that resistance training really can benefit everybody, and if you are looking to lose a little weight than varying up your steady state cardio with some weight lifting can really kickstart your results. In today's article we're going to look at a great strength training exercise that you probably haven't heard of and that really helps you burn the fat off your body!

This exercise is one that you won't see practiced in the gym that often, for the simple reason that it's a compound exercise. What that means is that unlike most things you see people doing in the gym, you actually use many body parts all at once to pull off this routine, thus activating a wide array of muscles all at once for massive fat burning potential. It's efficient, it's quick, and it will help you work up a sweat before you've even realize it.

The exercise requires a little balance and lots of focus. What you do is take a free weight in one hand, anything from 5lbs to 30 or higher, and place your other hand on a chair back before you, or any other object with which you can balance. Then, look down, square your hips so that they are flat to the ground, and lift the same leg as your weight arm so that it extends straight behind you. You want your body to form a capital 'T', with your one leg supporting you and the other behind.

That done, with a flat back you begin to raise and lower the weight toward your chest. Keep your elbow close to your body as you do so, and be sure to breath easily and calmly. This is called a 'row', and you can do it with as much weight as you can manage. Be sure to focus on your posture and not wobbling about anywhere.

The combination of core work involved with keeping that leg up and activating of your back and arm muscles means that you will be burning a large number of calories. Do three sets of fifteen, and you'll be in great shape!
