Weight Training
Weight Training plays a vital role in Body Transformation, Injury Prevention, and Overall Health & Well Being. Weight training increases muscle tone, which increases resting metabolism. If you increase your muscle tone by just 5 pounds, you will increase your resting metabolism by approximately 200 calories per day (1,400 calories per week!). You will also burn approximately 200 calories during your weight training workout. Weight Training 3 times per week will yield an additional 600 calories burned. In total, you will burn approximately 2,000 calories per week from weight training and its metabolic response.
Weight training also:
| • | Increases bone density, which decreases risk of osteoporosis |
| • | Increases your strength, which will decrease your risk of injury - such as back, shoulder, and knee problems; which are commonly caused by weakness |
