Starting or continuing your
weight training program is much easier if you know some of
the benefits derived from weight training:
1. Weight training tones
your muscles which looks great and raises your basal
metabolism.. which causes you to burn more calories 24
hours-a-day. You'll even burn more calories while you're
sleeping.
2. Weight training can
*reverse* the natural decline in your metabolism which
begins around age 30.

energizes you.

positive affect on almost all of your 650+ muscles.

osteoporosis.

develop big muscles on women.. just toned muscles!
