Get your body in shape.
More muscle and less fat - with weight training, you increase your basic metabolism and reduce body fat. Get the best out of yourself with targeted muscle building and an active lifestyle.
Weight training gives you a lasting influence on your metabolic activities.

When it comes to losing weight, women and men think of doing more sport and exercise, eating less, reducing their calorie intake and going on a diet. And all with the aim of reducing their body fat percentage. However, anyone who wants to lose weight sustainably and permanently improve their health, metabolism and appearance should integrate strength training into their training plan alongside a protein-rich diet. Why? Because strength training signals to the body that muscle mass is needed. During the weight loss phase, the body usually draws on body fat. Without strength training, there is a good chance that you will lose muscle mass as well as fat. The consequence: your performance will decrease.
Promote your health with strength training.
Our muscles are like engines that burn energy. And they can have a major impact on our quality of life and our figure.
Over time, we store more and more fat and our muscles shrink. It's not a favourable balance. As well as aesthetic considerations, being overweight can lead to health problems and metabolic disorders such as diabetes. Hypertension, osteoarthritis and strokes, to name but a few, are also on the list of risks...
And the back is also affected. And the back is also affected.
The solution to this problem is weight training, combined with a balanced diet that provides sufficient protein. In this way, you optimise your metabolic activities over the long term. As well as improving your outward appearance, there are many other health benefits:
A diet may give the desired results on the scales, but the image is misleading. When you want to reshape your figure, you can't rely on a single diet. Revving up your metabolism and burning fat through weight training will produce far better results. If you simply reduce your food intake, you'll lose weight quickly, but it won't just be fat. You can lose up to 30% of your muscles.
Our bodies need energy 24 hours a day. Skeletal muscle is capable of drawing on several sources of energy, adapting supply and demand. Nearly 60-70% of our daily energy requirements can be attributed to basic metabolism alone, which is the energy consumed by your body at rest to carry out basic vital functions such as heartbeat, breathing, blood circulation, digestion and heat production. Your muscles also need energy all the time, and to do this they burn sugar and fat in particular. It is your largest metabolic organ. When muscles are trained, they consume more energy - even when at rest. So one important principle applies: build muscles that both burn more fat and tone your body!
An essential requirement for muscle building: proteins
Tip 1: A protein-rich diet prevents muscle protein from being used to generate energy when calorie intake is reduced. At the same time, enough proteins are available to build muscle. Animal products such as milk, meat, fish or eggs and plant products such as legumes or nuts provide extra protein.
Tip 2: Drink water. You can save a lot of calories by replacing sugary drinks with water. In addition, a study by researcher Rebecca Muckelbauer indicates that increased water consumption helps you lose weight.
Our body uses energy 24 hours a day. The skeletal muscle balances supply and demand, drawing on several energy resources. About 60 to 70% of the daily energy requirement is accounted for by the basal metabolic rate alone. This is the energy your body needs at rest to maintain vital functions such as heartbeat, breathing, blood circulation, digestion and heat production. Your muscles also consume energy around the clock and burn sugar and fat for this purpose, among other things. They are your largest metabolic organ. If your muscles are trained, they consume more energy – even when you are resting. Therefore, building muscle will firstly increase your fat burning and secondly tone your figure.
Increase your basal metabolic rate with strength training.
