Press Release Summary = In order for women to achieve long term weight loss success,
through higher metabolism and increased caloric burn, educating them about the
importance of weight training in addition to cardio-aerobic exercise is vital.

Press Release Body = While most women know that we need to exercise and eat right to
lose weight, most don't realize how important weight training is to shedding body
fat. Weight training is a critical component of successful weight reduction, but for
women, in particular, it can also be crucial in preserving bone mass. If you're
serious about finally seeing some significant weight loss, here are a few pointers
to help get you started:

Add as little as 10 minutes of dumb bell work to your exercise program 3 times a
week, and boost your metabolism quickly. One of my favorite upper body combinations
is the overhead press, frontal raise, and the lateral raise. Perform 12 repetitions
of each exercise back to back (no rest period), take a quick 10 second break, and
perform your second set. For those just getting started in weight training, 2 or 3
pound weights are going to feel like 10 pound weights by the time you finish your
second set.

Find a facility with qualified staff to help you, or find a good program on
television that you can follow along with. Working with a professional trainer first
ensures you are using good form, and can help prevent injury.

Be prepared to change your weight training program at least once a month. This
prevents boredom, and keeps your muscles moving forward.

While cardio-aerobic exercise burns calories, the burn usually stops when we do. To
fire up the metabolism, we need lean muscle, and to achieve a dense level of fat
burning, calorie consuming lean muscle, we need to utilize light weight training.
Unfortunately, the majority of women who are most in need of light weight training
are too intimidated to go to a gym, and most \"women only\" facilities do not have
weight training facilities. Fortunately, there is a new \"women only\" fitness
movement that is changing the way women exercise: women only fitness and weight loss
facilities such as the Isis Fitness Center, headquartered in Traverse City,
Michigan, offer women weight training, personal training, yoga, Pilates, Weight loss
Boot Camps, military style Basic Training classes, Aerobics classes, etc., in
addition to the traditional 30 minute fitness format, and all in a safe, women only
environment, allowing women a fuller, higher quality exercise experience. Hopefully,
this trend will continue.
