Strength training both starting a regiment if you were not using one or changing form and technique used if it was already included, is used to break through this platue. The introduction of strength training results to an increase in RMR, which in turn results to more calories being burnt. This introduces significant calorie deficit that allow you to lose more weight faster. But this is only but one of the many advantages of training muscles.

Other problems training muscles helps neutralize in overweight individuals is blood pressure problems and heart problems.
