Muscular Fitness

Hi all,

Sorry about the lack of post this week. The time flew by. Here we are at another weigh in date. Anyone nervous that they might have put some back on or not lost anymore? I am after our potluck the other night. Even though it was healthy, I still had quite a bit.

Today I wanted to talk about the importance of a weight training program. Many women put it off because they want to do cardio and lose weight first. This is actually counter productive. Adding muscle early on will help to increase your overall BMR (basil metabolic rate) this will mean you burn more calories at rest, for even muscle at rest has a higher demand for calories than fat alone. Add some weight training now, even if it is push ups and squats using only your own body weight. Need help creating a strenght work out? You all have plenty of people here than can help or start using those great training DVD's that Christine is handing out.
