Men's Weight Loss Vs. Women's Weight Loss
We have always thought that men lose weight faster than women. Although there's still a lot of research to be done, it can generally be explained why men lose at a faster pace than women. They tend to be more active and have faster metabolisms.
Each sex has its own advantages when it comes to losing weight, but men do have an edge. The good news is that the more we learn, the more likely it is that members of both sexes will be able to lose weight successfully.
Exercise factors into the weight-loss equation, and that's where each of the sexes can learn from each other. Here are some of the differences, and what we can learn from the results of the studies done:
Women tend to focus on cardio, and men focus on strength training. To get results: You need both for weight loss and maintenance. Aim for 30 minutes of cardio, like running, on most days of the week and 20 to 30 minutes of resistance training, like weights, 2 to 3 days a week.
Men are more likely to exercise solo while women are more likely to socialize while they work out. To get results: Working out with a partner can keep you motivated. The key is finding someone who complements your style. Just remember that even if you exercise with a buddy, it's important to push yourself and focus on maintaining your individual fitness goals.
Women may not push themselves hard enough, but men may push themselves too far. To get results: Both men and women should check in with an expert, such as a certified personal trainer, from time to time to be sure their workout is on par with their fitness level.
