  Although a strength-oriented workout doesn’t typically burn as many calories as a spin bike or treadmill, building muscle will prolong the burn from a weighted workout resulting in more fat burned. Lifting weights is suggested to increase your lean body mass and therefore heightening your metabolic rate to help burn stubborn fat.

Faster paced resistance weighted training, such as pump classes are one of the most effective ways burn fat as well as calories.

However, your fitness level will be a large indication of how often you should weight train a week.
