Weight training (aka resistance training) is a must if you want to lose weight and keep it off.
Stand with fingertips resting lightly on the back of a sturdy chair. Raise up as high as you can on balls of feet. Hold for three seconds. Lower heels to starting position.
For each of the exercises, do two sets. Feet should always be shoulder-width apart and flat on the floor to start. Rest minute or so between the sets.
Note: If performed correctly, strength training offers impressive health advantages.
Warning: Consult your health care provider before beginning any strength training program, particularly if you have some health issues or if you have experienced back, knee, elbow or shoulder pain.
