As a rule, the slimming training program for women assumes a progressive, that is, a gradual increase in the load. This is due to the fact that the number of repetitions and approaches is gradually increasing. The program, designed to reduce weight, in addition to improving the metabolism, activates the immune system and significantly increases the overall tone of the body.
Methods and programs today there is a great variety: you can train 4 days a week, and three to relax, you can practice every other day or every day. There are also various techniques for performing exercises that are aimed at burning fat, strengthening muscle tissue, forming a problem area of the body. Experts advise to train in a sports club, fitness center, gym. The advantages of such training are obvious - help and control of a professional trainer, increase of motivation for classes, because around will be more slender figures as an example for imitation. In addition, specialized centers have a lot of equipment that helps to lose weight quickly and "fashion" the figure. However, there is a variant of studies in a more chamber atmosphere, that is, a training program for losing weight at home, assuming a higher level of self-discipline and a minimum set of items - a skipping rope, fitness ball and small dumbbells.
Principles of training.
- If you perform exercises with weight (weight), weight should be chosen so that it hinders the last two repetitions of the intended movement. If you choose too much weight (dumbbells), you can not perform the exercise in the right technique, if the weight is insufficient, there will be no result. How to determine the weight? With the help of a small sports "experiment": according to the plan there are 12 repetitions, and you are not too tired and can make 14-15, therefore, the weight needs to be increased.
- Between the sets (sets) it is necessary to do very small, but obligatory breaks (for 30-40 seconds), thus, the high rate of training will be kept, and the organism will receive a short respite.
- The program of weight loss training is impossible without warming up - warm-up. Unprepared, "cold" muscles are often injured, as well as untreated ligaments - to sprains. Therefore, before you start the main exercises, you need to "warm up" for at least 10 minutes, and after the end of the workout, you should also let your muscles calm down, that is, move a little, reducing the tempo.
- The slimming workout program should improve your health and not expose it to risks, so if you have a chronic or exacerbated disease, you should consult your doctor before the training "start". In addition, doing the training under the guidance of the coach or independently, you must strictly adhere to the chosen technique and its rules.
- It should be remembered that no one even the most fashionable technique does not exclude the observance of diet and rules of reasonable nutrition.
Weight Loss Strength Program
For how long is the strength training program for weight loss calculated? The basic course is a cycle of lessons lasting three to four months. Then you need a two-week break and a repetition of the main course, but with a higher load. The break can be monthly, it all depends on what kind of results you want to achieve. Long-term "vacation" can be arranged in the muscles during the summer period, and in autumn, resume classes
The weight training program for weight loss is the exact adherence to technology and the ability to "listen" to your body, muscles.
The first stage of training lasts from 2 to 4 weeks, when the maximum weight of dumbbells or other devices, in total - it is not more than 6-8 kilograms. The task is to translate the exercise into automaticity and to teach your muscles to be toned.
The second stage is weight gain by 25-30% and gradual increase in repetitions and sets. Peak load - the 4th week from the start of training. This, of course, is a stress for the body and the nervous system, however, such an increase in effort is an easy and useful stress. It is this shake and will neutralize excess calories and fat deposits.
The strength training program for weight loss includes three classes per week, which last 50-60 minutes. In addition, in the time period of each session, it is necessary to include the time for reheating and "cooling down". Warm-up involves easy gymnastics for all the muscles of the body, starting from the top, ending with the calf muscles of the legs. Do not forget to warm up the tendons and joints with the help of rotational movements and swings. Stretch marks are appropriate after the end of training, that's how exactly then muscle tissue needs gradual soothing.

- Twisting straight (pulling the shoulder girdle to the pelvis), with the emphasis of the legs in the bench - 2 sets of 30 times. Take care that the amplitude of the movements is not too great, since then the hip muscles and joints will work, and not the muscles of the press. Twisting is one of the most effective exercises from what the training program offers for slimming your sides and the press.

The weight of the bar (load) in the first days should not exceed 1/10 of your weight (80 kilograms of your weight - no more than 8 kilograms of attachments). It seems that this weight is small, but the number of its lifts more than compensates for apparent ease.

For example, 220-28 = 192. If the load is indicated, which corresponds to 5 points, then it is calculated for half the maximum, 6 and 7 points - 60 and 70% of the maximum, and so on.
