Add lean muscle and be a calorie-burning machine
It sounds too good to be true: a simple, effective way to burn more calories and look better, with minimal time required to actually do it. Is it a new as-seen-on-TV gimmick? Actually, good old-fashioned resistance training can give you these benefits and more.

Adding lean muscle helps your body work more efficiently at burning calories, even when you aren’t working out. Basically, a pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat, and strength training can increase your metabolic rate, or the rate your body naturally burns calories, throughout the day.

Combined with a healthy eating plan and regular cardiovascular exercise, strength training can give you the body you want in less time. It’s especially important as we age to incorporate strength training into our normal routine as it improves balance and flexibility and can also increase bone density, reducing the risk for fractures as we age.

You don’t have to spend hours in the gym to get the results you want, either. Interval training helps you accomplish a lot for your body in a short amount of time. Try the “4-3-2-1 Body Training” DVD for a 10-minute approach to resistance training that also works in cardio, core/ab work, and stretching. Equipment needn’t be expensive or complicated to reach your goals. A simple set of resistance bands and a stability ball are the perfect starting pieces for your home gym.

There are also ways you can nutritionally enhance your muscle gain. Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues, including muscle. If you’re actively working out and strength training, protein could help you reach your goals faster. There are a variety of ways to take in protein, and it is most beneficial in building muscle when consumed after a workout. Try NUTRILITE® Protein Shakes, Whey Protein Powders, or Whey Protein Bars and see what works best for you.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is an essential fatty acid that supports lean muscle retention. If you’re investing time and energy in building muscle, take it to the next level and get maximum return on your investment with a CLA supplement. Try NUTRILITE CLA 500.

No matter your reasons for gaining strength – looking better, losing weight, or preparing for a healthier future – know that working at it consistently a little bit at a time will yield big results.
