Effective weight loss exercise is based on a principle called progressive resistance. To see good results, we must increase the intensity of our workout when our body adapts to the previous load. It is a simple concept, and to carry out progressive resistance and make it working, we only need a degree of self discipline and invest our time doing it.
There are number of ways doing progressive resistance and strength training, as stated below:
1) Increase the Weight Being Used
If you are just about to start or a beginner in the resistant and strength training, this type of progressive resistance is probably the simplest and most effective way for you.
There is always a good rule to follow with any new exercise movement to minimize muscle injury possibility and to progress consistently. Always start with minimal weight at your first workout session. After you can accomplish 10 repetitions of a movement without achieving failure, it is the time to increase the weight or tension because you can only build lean muscle when you go through 3 stages in strength training: Working repetition, fatigue and muscular failure. Bear in mind, always increase with the smallest increment possible in progressive resistance training.
