New Bod Habit #4 - Work Out with Weights 3 Days a Week

Here's the deal. The more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism will be. Working out with weights will increase muscle size and boost the rate you burn calories. You'll also be stronger, be able to stand taller, feel more confident, even have more stamina for your everyday and night time **wink!** activities! One thing to keep in mind: It is especially important to do weight resistance exercises as you move into your 40's. Due to a drop in anabolic hormones, you'll begin to lose muscle mass. When muscle is lost, your metabolism slows down. Get the picture? Try working out with weights three times per week, hitting all major muscle groups.
