Torch the Fat

#1 Way to lose weight is NOT cardio!

Building muscle increases your metabolism. Your body has to burn more calories to maintain muscle than to

maintain fat.

More Muscle = More calories burned even when you are NOT working out!

Page 13: I Lift More Than Babies: 12 Reasons Moms Must Strength Train

Look + Feel Good

When you are stronger, you have less of the excess of skin/fat/etc.

that makes us hate that little black dress (what mom has time to go

out in that anyway?)

More muscle will make your clothes fit better + smoother + you will feel so much more confident!

“I will not require assistance to move the furniture…open the pickle jar…carry my toddler…or you get the picture!

Strength Training (when you put down the Barbie weights) gives you the freedom to do more in your everyday life!

Why not make your job easier?
