Introduction

The weight loss journey can be a challenging one, and not everyone is able to achieve the desired results. However, incorporating lifting into the weight loss routine can be a game-changer for many. Reddit user eternalrefuge86's post is a testimony to this.

From January to Now

Eternalrefuge86 started his weight loss journey in January 2021, and by now, he has successfully lost 20lbs! He has particularly mentioned that the game-changer for him was incorporating lifting in his routine. He had been struggling with plateauing for months but lifting has made a world of difference for him.

Impact on the Body

Eternalrefuge86 has seen the positive impact of lifting on his body. He particularly feels it in his stomach, which was one of the problem areas for him. With lifting, the results are visible, and he himself has posted a picture comparison showing the difference he feels in his body.

Benefits of Lifting

Lifting weights is scientifically proven to be beneficial in losing fat and building muscles. It boosts the metabolism, which helps in burning calories even after the workout is over. Additionally, lifting weights adds to the muscle mass, which in turn aids in burning calories even at rest. Thus, lifting weights can accelerate weight loss, as well as help in building a lean, toned body.

Try It Out

Eternalrefuge86's journey is a motivating one, and the incorporation of weight lifting is a valuable addition to anyone's weight loss routine. However, everyone's body is different, and some may not be comfortable with lifting weights. Find what works for you and try it out for yourself. Incorporate things that you know you will enjoy doing, be it weight lifting, cardio, or yoga. Remember, the key to successful weight loss is consistency and patience.
