Resistance Training

Resistance training is a great way to "kick it" for the results you want without spending hours in the gym. A study by the University of Maine states a single set of weight training (resistance) exercises use as many calories as running at a 6.6 minute mile for the same amount of time. What does that really mean? If you are doing circuit training with high reps (25 or more) of multiple muscle groups, ie burpees with a push-up, the amount of time it takes you to complete the exercise would equal running at a 6.6 mile pace.
