All those who would like to lose a few pounds and tone their body need to know that the endless hours of cardio or on the treadmill cannot satisfy your goals as it will only help you be a smaller version of your previous fat self.
Instead, you should try resistance training and improve your endurance and strength and look much better naked!
A recent study examined the effects of resistance exercise on the metabolic constraints of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The 53 patients were divided into 2 groups: the first one performed pushups and squats 3 times per week for 12 weeks, while the control group did not do any resistance exercise.
After 12 weeks, the effects were compared. In the exercise group, people greatly raised the fat-free and muscle mass and lowered the levels of iron, insulin, and fatty liver. Therefore, resistance exercises improve the characteristics of metabolic syndrome in the case of a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
