What
a beautiful sunny day! With
the weather getting warmer and the days longer; it can be harder
to get to the gym. We want to be outside! No problem, just
don’t forget your weight training. So,
absolutely, get outside, walk, bike, jog, run, hike, kayak and
roller blade. But, don’t forget, strength training puts women
on a level playing field as far as metabolism goes. The more
muscle mass a woman has, the more calories she can burn!
Strength training also keeps bones dense and strong, so it is a
good weapon against osteoporosis! Make
it an excellent week and pick up a dumbbell!! (No offence guys!
Really!) Then get up, go
outside and get going! PS:
