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!
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!

Why not make your job easier?
