Many keep from the gym because they worry that they will have to spend all their spare time to build strength and muscle. Muscle is key for weight loss and maintenance because the more muscle we have the more calories are burned throughout the day. There are five basic exercises to ensure all the major muscles are worked. Do a chest press to work the chest, front of shoulders and triceps. A row for the back, rear shoulder and biceps. Leg press for the leg muscles. For the abs and low back using a stability ball works best. You may want to hire a trainer for a session to get the form correct. Challenge the muscle to 12 – 15 repetitions to really get the muscles strong.
These are basics and there are certainly many more exercises to do so let me know if I can help you in any way.
Until next time….
