Many people have decided to lose weight this year. Most of them have chosen a diet to reach their weight loss goal. Some have chosen to began an aerobic exercise program. But if you really want to boost your metabolism and reach your weight loss goal, it's time to incorporate resistance or strength training into your diet and cardio plan. And this is exactly what some of you are doing by adding the Tuesday Training group to your routine.
Resistance training is NOT just for bodybuilders. It is for anyone who wants to improve their overall health. A proper resistance training program will develop muscular strength, improve muscular flexibility, enhance bone health and bone density, strengthen tendons and ligaments, and develop muscular endurance.
A strength training program will also boost your metabolism. It has been well documented that a pound of muscle burns 80 to 100 extra calories per week while a pound of fat only burns 3 to 5 calories per week. This one pound of muscle will burn over 10 fat pounds per year.
Ask me about joining one of our training groups. There are still some spots available! And don't forget that we are doing some strength training in boot camp too. Tuesdays are just more "hardcore" :)
