The combination of strength training, aerobic activity and healthy eating (not dieting) is the best way to lose weight and keep it off.  Not only does exercise make you look better,  it improves the way you feel and function both mentally and physically.  You will have more energy and feel great about yourself!  

Did you know that every pound of muscle burns 45 calories/day at rest? After age 25, inactive bodies lose up to ½ lb. of muscle every year, decreasing metabolism.  Weight training strengthens and maintains your muscles to avoid those unwanted extra pounds.
