Why Weight?

Weight Training can:

• Increase lean body mass, which raises your metabolism (lean mass burns 35 – 50 calories per pound.
• Decrease body fat (body fat burns only 2 – 6 calories per pound)
• Help raise "good" HDL cholesterol
• Help decrease blood pressure
• Increase energy levels
• Increase flexibility (if performed through a full range of motion)
• Improve sleep
• Improve balance
• Help you become your "physical best"
• Improve body image
• Increase self-confidence and self-esteem

Weight Training won't:

• Cause a person to become "muscle-bound"
• Decrease flexibility
• Bulk you up
• Injure joints (when performed properly)
