Yes, it's kinda funny. But true. Strength training actually leads to faster metabolism and faster weight loss! I talk to a lot of people who have tried to lose weight - some successfully - through dieting alone. But in the long run, it comes back, and in the process of losing weight, have lost muscle - not fat.
We know that it's important to do three things to make longlasting changes in the body: 1) Proper nutrition, 2)Strength training, resistance training, weight training, and 3) Cardio, cardio, cardio!
When all three happen at the same time - it's magic, not rocket science. Please see a qualified trainer to learn how to perform exercises so that you maximize benefits, and that your form and technique are correct.
