Losing weight is the most desired objective in the gym, but the latest overweight statistics show that current training solutions are not effective. Those who need to lose weight are tempted to rely on cardiovascular activity, and in fitness centres aerobic activity is more recommended for losing weight.

Is running, cycling or aerobics classes sufficient to lose weight? Cardiovascular exercise increases the heart rate and when this happens, the heart circulates more blood and oxygen throughout the body to increase activity and energy expenditure.

However, scientific research has sounded the alarm: the energy consumed by cardiovascular exercise is not sufficient for significant and proper weight loss. The alternative, according to science, is to seek weight loss through dynamic muscle work.

Dynamic strength training has a higher energy expenditure than cardio because more muscle groups are used, the heart works harder for the whole body and thus the heart rate, energy expenditure and oxygen deficit (EPOC effect) increase.

Recent studies show that the EPOC generated by strength training sessions with short intervals and stimulating overloads lasts the longest compared to any other training method.

Thanks to the Stand Up technology, the Switching circuit allows strength training in a dynamic manner, thus responding in a targeted manner to scientific indications regarding exercise for weight loss. In addition, muscle work helps preserve lean mass, for better weight loss and a better physical appearance.
