Lift weights to lose weight

If you aren't lifting weights already what are you waiting for?  If you are a woman is it because your afraid of bulking up?  Well that is one of the biggest misconceptions about weightlifting that drives me nuts.  Even if you lift weights for a long period of time you won't "bulk" up.  You will get stronger but you are not going to look like arnold anytime soon. (don't worry).  Lifting weights increases your RMR( resting metabolic rate).  Cardio is great for your heart, but lifting is great for losing weight and adding muscle.  If you are not lifting weights what is your excuse?  I could give you a million reasons why you should just ask me.  If you are looking for that 6-pack beach body then lifting weights is the way to go.  You don't have to become an expert overnight, start with something easy, such as the machines.  So tomorrow morning instead of just going for a run, go lift some weights!  You will be thanking me in the long run.
