Kieser training goals

Reduce body fat

More muscle, less fat. Targeted strength training boosts your basal metabolic rate and reduces body fat—giving you more energy, better health, and improved quality of life. Every muscle you build makes your body stronger and healthier. One especially important factor: reducing visceral fat, which lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and inflammation.

EFFECTS OF KIESER TRAINING FOR THE GOAL: LOSING WEIGHT

Higher basal metabolic rate thanks to muscles

Targeted fat reduction

Activated metabolism

Avoid the yo-yo effect

Kieser works

Muscles – your natural fat burner

When it comes to losing weight, women and men often think of doing more exercise, moving more, eating less, and cutting calories — usually as part of a diet. All of this with the goal of reducing body fat. However, if you want to lose weight sustainably while also improving your health and metabolism in the long term, it’s essential to include strength training in your routine, alongside a protein-rich diet.

Why? Because strength training sends a clear signal to your body: your muscle mass is needed. This way, during weight loss, your body will primarily tap into fat reserves. Without strength training, there’s a risk that you’ll lose not only fat but also valuable muscle mass — which can lead to a decrease in physical performance.

Focus on the essentials

Less fat mass, more muscle mass

Wondering how strength training can actually help you lose weight? The key lies in body composition — that is, the ratio of fat mass to lean mass — and not just the number on the scale. When you engage in strength training while consuming less energy than you expend — for example, through a protein-rich and calorie-reduced diet — this ratio shifts in favor of muscle mass. Typically, you’ll build muscle while reducing fat mass.

Why is strength training crucial for you?

Your body composition

If you want to lose weight, a high-protein diet alone is not enough. Without strength training, your body loses not just fat but also valuable muscle mass – lowering your basal metabolic rate. That means: Your body burns fewer calories at rest. Strength training tells your body that your muscles are needed. With enough protein – for example, from meat, fish, dairy, legumes, or nuts – your muscle mass can be maintained or even increased. This preserves your strength and keeps your metabolism stable.

Without training, the well-known yo-yo effect threatens: fewer muscles, lower calorie needs – and weight gain soon after. 

Kieser is your fat-loss catalyst

If you want to keep your body healthy long-term, you should focus not only on your weight but especially on your body composition. What matters is reducing fat while maintaining or increasing your muscle mass. A calorie deficit – whether through exercise, diet, or both – leads to weight loss. But without accompanying strength training, there’s a risk of losing muscle. Especially with strict diets, the body breaks down both fat and valuable lean mass – in other words, muscle.

Strength training acts as a safeguard: It preserves muscle mass even during an energy deficit and directs weight loss specifically toward fat. A key factor for sustainable fat reduction. 

This is what strength training does

Muscle mass is metabolically active
An increase in muscle mass raises your basal metabolic rate – helping you burn more calories during daily activities and even while sleeping.
Reduction of visceral fat
Targeted strength training helps reduce particularly harmful belly fat – the fat that can lead to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Protect your muscles during weight loss
Without strength training, some of the lost weight may come from muscle mass – but training prevents this and ensures you lose fat specifically.
Improved insulin sensitivity and metabolic health
Your muscle mass helps absorb sugar into cells and regulates blood sugar levels – reducing the risk of metabolic disorders, especially with high visceral fat.
Protection against the yo-yo effect
An active metabolism through preserved muscle mass increases the likelihood of long-term weight stability and effectively protects against the yo-yo effect.

The Kieser Muscle Formula

Dietary protein and Kieser work hand in hand to help increase your muscle mass. Strength training enhances the muscle-building effect of dietary protein and makes your muscles more receptive over time to these essential building blocks – proteins. That’s why we recommend integrating the Kieser Muscle Formula purposefully into your daily routine.

Your benefit

Achieve your personal goal – effectively, efficiently, and sustainably.

With Kieser, you reduce body fat more effectively

When you consume fewer calories than you burn—or burn more than you consume—you force your body to draw from its own reserves: you lose fat, but also muscle. However, if you combine this approach with strength training, you preserve your muscle mass while accelerating fat loss.
