Strength Training

Strength training is so important when trying to lose weight or just having a healthy life in general. With strong muscles your body can function better and safer not to mention burn more calories. So, if you haven't started the weights workout START! It is worth the effort. If you don't have barbells yet use a can of spaghetti sauce or big can of beans, anything you can fit in your hand. If you have started but are not up to 3 sets of 10 start that today. you will be surprised at what you can do with a little effort. If you are up to 3 sets of 10 I want you to focus on doing the lifts a little faster. Go from one lift right into the next. Remember our goal is correct form so i don't want you to be sloppy and quick. I want good form, strong stances and deliberate controlled movements, just keep your heart rate up. You should be breathing hard and feeling like you are getting a workout. Remember to do your weights first before you do your cardio workout so you have the strength to do the lifts correctly and with the strength you need. I'm hoping everyone will be ready to add a few lbs to the lifts in a week or 2. Keep up the good work!!!
