Lift Weights & Lift Your Mood!
Exercise and lifting weights not only trims your body, but it boosts your mood and self-esteem.
It stimulates the feel good brain chemicals: serotonin and dopamine, and is the greatest stress reliever I know of!
A Harvard study found that 10 weeks of strength training reduced clinical depression symptoms more successfully than standard counseling did.
Women need Weight Training:
· Your Bones will benefit. Research has found that weight training can increase spinal bone mineral density by 13% in six months…a powerful tool against osteoporosis.
· You will reduce your risk of diabetes. Research indicates that weight training can increase glucose utilization in the body by 23 % in four months.
· You will fight Heart Disease. Strength training will improve your cholesterol profile and blood pressure. Of course, your exercise program should also include cardiovascular exercise and flexibility training.
· Your new muscle will help fight Obesity. As you add muscle from strength training, your resting metabolism will increase, so you'll burn more calories all day long.
So go ahead and get some weights!
You'll be happy you did,
Best of Health,

Diet Tips
If no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
Drinking diet soda with a candy bar cancels each other out.
When eating with someone else, calories don't count if you eat the same amount as they do.
Movie related calories don't count because they are entertainment and not consumed a personal fuel. Examples are: Milk Duds, popcorn with extra butter and Junior Mints.
Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER count such as: Godiva Chocolates, Black Russians and Sara Lee cheesecake.
Cake or cookie pieces contain no calories. The process of breaking off small pieces causes caloric leakage.
