Did you say strength training?

Do you ever go to the gym and see people who ONLY focus on cardio? Or some people who look at you funny (especially if you are a girl) who go and pick up some weights? But any good trainer will tell you that you need to add strength training in your workout, that cardio will not be enough. I could post on here a 100 articles about it but I just wanted to share a few especially to maybe girls out there who are scared if they pick up the weights that all of the sudden they will look like Arnold Schwarzenegger (I can only wish).

I can't really see one reason NOT to start loving strength training today! Do you?

Start today by going to the gym, picking up the weights and watching those muscles go to work! Its going to be one of the best ways to lose weight and you get to see some great definition along the way as well. :)
