If you want to lose weight successfully, then muscles are a must.

If you want attractive curves, definition and lean muscle as opposed to a flabby un-tone body then you need to use weights.

I'm not talking about bulk, I'm talking about good body definition and strength, a firm, well-toned physique.

Most women are afraid of using weights for fear of ending up too muscular, but the truth is, it is very difficult for women to look muscular. You have to be either genetically gited or a genetic freak as well as lift weights every day and take steroids. It isn't even easy for most men to create bulk.

How well defined and toned you look depends on how much body fat you carry, the less body fat you have, the more definition you will carve into your body, and the sexier your muscles will look.

How will muscle make you lose weight? Simple, muscle is solid, it uses up a lot of fuel to sustain itself, and one of the fuels it uses is body fat. Muscle is an active tissue which blasts your metabolism, and increases fat-burning even when you rest. The more muscle you have the more fat you will burn. It's as simple as that.

Muscle tone is achieved when you use weights or work your body harder than it is used to. If you combine the use of weights with aerobic or any activity that makes you mildly out of breath, such as walking, cycling or swimming, you will get results dramatically quicker than if you just did aerobic exercise.

The good news is that you only need to use weights approximately 3 times per week, leaving a day in between training sessions, in order to obtain the best results. When you work your muscles, they break down into tiny little micro tears and need 24 hours rest to repair, but when they do repair they become stronger, allowing you to become stronger. Use a heavy enough weight that will tire your muscles out after about 8-12 repetitions as this will get results quicker. Bear in mind that some parts of your body will be stronger than others. Work the muscles until they are tired - but not in pain.

The good thing about using weights is that you don't have to spend too much time to get good results. With weights, it's all about the workload (quality), not quantity.

So pick up those weights today - and you'll be amazed at the results!
