If a person has decided to fight excess weight, then the process of losing weight must be approached responsibly.

The fact is that when dieting, many people face the problem of losing not just kilograms, but muscles.

Therapist Rafael Sepulveda Acosta told Forbes that problems can be avoided.

According to the doctor, it is important to remember about sports when losing weight.

He especially singled out strength training, which helps build muscle rather than losing it when losing weight.

In addition, such exercises also help to get rid of extra centimeters on the waist or hips.

In this case, you can give preference to a barbell, dumbbells or kettlebells, but the main thing is that the load does not interfere with the body's recovery.

You can take a break of 3 to 5 days between classes.

It would not be a bad idea to consult with a specialist so that the loads are selected individually.
