Letâs say youâre performing seated shoulder presses 3 times a week. You use 15 lb. dumbbells and do 4 sets of 12 reps each on each day. You can probably maintain the muscle mass you have now by only doing shoulder presses once a week, instead of 3 times. (!!!) However, you need to continue to do appropriate volume (4 sets of 12, maybe a little more) with the same intensity (15 lb. dumbbells).
MayoClinic.com recommends 30 minutes of cardio activity per day, along with weight training at least two times per week. Building more muscles means you burn calories more efficiently, sometimes continuing the calorie burn for up to 24 hours after your workout.hen losing weight is your goal, a balanced regimen of cardiovascular exercise and weight training can help you reach that goal. But instead of worrying about what the scale tells you, focus more on your size. Lifting weights helps create more muscle, which can tip the scales up while helping slim you down.
