Exercise Help plz
| Mon, 04-19-2004 - 3:13pm |
I am losing so much weight w/out exercising (about 3lbs/wk) I'm afraid that exercising will mess this up. If nothing else I will probably gain wght with the muscle gain. Does anyone else have any thoughts or ideas??

Hope this helps! :)

* It will help you burn more calories in a day
* Lifting weights will help you develop more muscle mass, which burns more calories even when you are asleep
* will help prevent osteoporosis (sp?)
when you first start, especially with lifting weights, you might see a slow down in your weight loss, but the inches will continue to come off. Women generally don't have enough testosterone to develop large, bulky muscles, so you probably don't have to worry about increasing your size through muscle.
The numbers on the scale are a convenient way to judge our size and health, but they really don't give a full picture. Some of the healthiest, most physically fit people weigh more than they "should" if compared to height-weight charts b/c those charts don't take muscle mass into account. Judge your body about what it can DO and how you FEEL instead of by silly numbers on a scale.
(now if I could get myself to dust off my weights.... I keep saying I'm going to, and it really does make a difference when I do, I know that from past experience.)
HTH,
