Each and every year, people make different New Year's resolutions at the beginning of the year. often times, these resolutions are to try to be a better person, or to get a new degree or finish a degree they hadn't finished before. The most popular resolution, by far, is to decide to lose weight.

If you decide to work out for you New Year's resolution, that will help you to lose weight and build muscle. When you workout, your muscles begin to tear, which will help them grow bigger as they begin to heal. Whether you are doing cardiovascular exercises or weight training, you will be burning fat.

Of course, there are differences in what types of workouts you choose to do, as you stress different muscles in differing ways with each activity. But dont fear, youll be burning those extra calories no matter what, so long as you push yourself. Calories are the enemy, and so long as youre burning more calories than you consume each day, youll begin to notice a great deal of change in the weeks to come.

Cardio exercises stress the amount of oxygen the body can hold during strenuous activity, forcing the heart to pump faster and in turn forces the body to burn more calories. Some examples of cardio exercises are walking, running, swimming, and bicycling, just to name a few.Cardiovascular activity also boosts an individuals oxygen capacity, which allows them to run, swim, or overall be active longer with less stress on the lungs and heart as time moves forward.

When you do weight training (otherwise known as strength training) you lift weights which cause your muscles to tear, only to be built right back up again and stronger to boot! Because people can see the effects from strength training, it is one of the most popular forms of working out. Your body will become more attractive and toned, and hey, you'll get to burn quite a lot of calories while you are at it!

Body resistance training is a fantastic and cheap form of strength training. When you're doing this, you are only using your body's weight as resistance, nothing else (like weights or resistance bands). Push ups are the prime example, as well as sit-ups and jumping jacks.

You can really burn fat quickly with strength training. Although you've probably heard that muscle can weight more than fat, it does, but do not worry. When you engage in strength training, you are building muscle which adds pounds (good pounds) but it also burns away fat quickly, causing you to lose very unhealthy weight.

No matter the time it is, New Year's or not, it's always a great time to begin working out. You'll look more attractive, and you'll notice that you have more energy for working out and other daily activities. If you don't work hard you won't get results. - 24553
