Try strength training
Weight lifting and strength training not only build muscle mass but may increase your metabolism and help strengthen your bones.
With this in mind, try to integrate some strength training into every week for the next month. If you’re new to exercise, make sure to take it slow. (Contrary to popular belief, pain is not gain. When you feel really sore after a workout, you’ve gone too far.) If you’re a cardio junkie, replace two out of every six workouts with strength building exercises.
Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine.

Get Started with Strength TrainingStrength training is a vital component of good health. |
have been taking Charle for a good walk at the hight school. Plan on getting back to lifting wts.
i walked for a whole hour i am pround of myself because i usually just walk30 minutes.i knew i could do it.
I “bond” with Denise Austin M-F before I go to work and do strength training during the commercials. Today (Saturday) I added an extra day to my weekly exercise routine.
When you exercise make it fun and change it daily. Always do something different to avoid bun out.
so i am at school and living in a dorm, so i brought some arm and leg weights, and a few resistance straps to use to! they work great!
yes, instead of just doing half hour of cardio, i started doing some strength training to tone and tighten . I love it now that I have started doing it again. thanks
