Strength Fitness Training and Your Exercise Regimen
If you want to lose weight, or keep in shape and save your body from flab, doing strength fitness training is a great option to maintain or lose weight. Strength fitness training is a regimen of lifting weights and should be done several times a week. However, off days are necessary for recuperation after lifting.
Strength fitness training is a great form of exercise and forming a proper exercise schedule is very important for your fitness needs. Find times that you can go several times a week, possibly every other day for one hour. If you make the time and schedule your strength fitness training in, you will stick to your regimen and have successful results.
Be sure that you do not over exercise your muscles, as this can cause muscle damage. Work out for as long as you feel good, but if it starts to hurt or you feel fatigued during your strength fitness training, you may want to stop for the day, and pick it back up later. Over doing strength fitness training can cause damage rather than help you.
If you are a male, you may be using strength fitness training to bulk up and build muscle, if this is the case, rest will do you more good than you know. During the rest period, your muscles will grow and repair themselves, leaving your muscles feeling and looking bigger and stronger. If you are constantly training, and do not give your muscles a rest period, it will be much harder, and the results will take much longer through your strength fitness training.
Also, if you are trying to bulk up, it is essential to know that when you are doing your strength fitness training, you will want to do less repetitions of lifting with heavier weights. This will help to train your muscles and will help them to grow quickly. Eating protein before or after your workout will also help you maximize the results of your strength fitness training.
If you are a female, you probably are just looking to tone some, and are not looking to bulk up. In this case, you will find that it is best to use lighter weights and do more repetitions to work the muscles and sculpt them into a toned look, rather than an overly bulky one.
For either form of strength fitness training, heat and cold after your workout can help to improve your recovery time, so that you can get back into your strength fitness training more quickly, without being overly sore. To do so, use a hot followed by cold, or vice versa, shower or ice and heat packs on sore muscles.
If you want to use strength fitness training to your advantage, make sure to make a schedule, don’t overdo your training, and remember to use the types of weights and reps that will benefit you for what you intend to do. Heat and cold together can help to elevate the soreness of muscles and help you reach your full fitness potential.

I want an opinion from someone who is knowledgeable about fitness or worksout! Serious answers only plz!?
Kay, I’m 5ft8, 150lbs and sedentary. After I graduate, it is my determination to lead a healthy and fit lifestyle. My goal is to not be skinny, but not bulky either. I guess you could call it ripped. I want to be buff but fast! I don’t start fights but I want to beable to end them (I’ll be studying Krav Maga as well). With this in mind, what do you recommend? I was thinking 155lbs with 5%body fat. Is that good? Shoud I get bigger? Smaller?
