Pumped any iron lately? If not, you may want to consider it. Resistance exercise is a great way to round out your aerobic workout, help you stay strong and lose weight. Women, this is especially important in our pre/post menopausal years, when we start experiencing loss of bone strength and find it harder to lose abdominal fat.
What is resistance exercise?
It is any exercise where muscles contract against an external resistance with the objective of increasing strength, tone mass and/or muscular endurance. The resistance can come from dumb-bells, weight machines, elastic tubing or bands, cinder blocks, cans of soup, your own body weight (push ups), or any other object that forces the muscles to contract. You will see the results over time.
