When it comes to weight loss, free weights can take you far. <\/span><\/p>\n For that reason, the best dumbbell workout for weight loss is all about intensity and efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>After all, weight loss comes down to two guiding principles: calorie burn and lean muscle growth. <\/span><\/p>\n To lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit. But what good are calories burned if they come from muscle?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To prevent muscle loss, the workout below loads the body\u2019s biggest muscle groups through large, compound movements, and with weight that pushes those muscles to fatigue. <\/span><\/p>\n After all, the more muscle fibers you recruit with each and every rep, the more energy\u2014or calories\u2014your muscles will suck up and burn through.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Plus, it\u2019s at the point of fatigue\u2014when you have zero reps left in the tank\u2014when you trigger the endocrine responses necessary to maintain and even grow levels of lean mass in the face of a calorie deficit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That lean mass, or muscle, is your number-one modifiable factor in setting your basal metabolic rate, or the number of calories your body burns performing basic biological functions. <\/span><\/p>\n Put another way, building muscle helps you lose more weight from fat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\n \n ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.healthysuppliesshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10528-ijtfta.jpg?fit=400%2C400&ssl=1\")
