I Learned Something!

Now, I always thought I had to have a cardio work out to make a difference in my weight loss and that's why I walk/run.....I just read that lifting weights boost your metabolism more than a cardio work out.
It goes on to say when you strength train enough to add 3 lbs of muscle you increase your calorie burn by 6 to 8%, meaning you burn about an extra 100 calories a day. Aerobic exercise doesn't increase your body's lean muscle mass, the best way to do that is resistance training. So it's time to add some squats and push ups to my routine....maybe some 'smart' bells too!
Keep up the good work you beautiful womens!!
