As much as I love walking—to be honest it is my preferred form of cardiovascular activity—I know that lifting weights is vital.

Not only does lifting burn calories—just like walking—but lifting helps build muscle and the more muscle you have the more calories you burn even at rest.

Now, don’t let anyone tell you that fat does not burn calories, because it does, it just does not burn as many calories as muscle.

Another benefit to lifting is that you can totally reshape your body—want a smaller looking waist—make your shoulders wider.

BOOM!

Increased V-taper.

So my little nudge for this week is for you to start a lifting program.

You don’t have to go hog wild, besides doing so could get you injured, just get started slowly, and work your way into it.

If you are totally new to lifting find a good gym in your area and then ask around until you find a competent trainer—just because they are certified means nothing.

If you’ve lifted before—still ease back into it, and please whatever you do, don’t think you can jump right back into your old routine.

The only thing that will get you is injured.

As always—please consult your doctor, physician, or health care provider before beginning or undertaking any exercise program—and this advice was not intended as medical advice and should not be taken as such..
