When doing a weight lifting regiment, are reps more important than weight to burn calories?
Hey Ken I recommend to my clients a few things when they try to burn calories into their weight training regiment: 1) do reps between 10-12 reps with lighter weight and 30 sec rest in between sets. When you can do 2-3 sets of 10-12 reps easily for an exercise, bump up the weight. 2) Work as many muscles and joints as possible in one exercise as possible to burn more calories (for example, squat to shoulder press with dumbbells) will burn more calories at once then individually doing shoulder press with dumbbells by itself.
