When our muscles are sore it simply means that during our workout we pushed it enough that tiny tears were created in the muscle belly structure. By doing that our body has to repair such tears. Guess what it uses......Calories and nutrients from our diet! Yes, that's right...your actually increasing your metabolism by doing this.
How do we make those constant changes in our muscles? Weight and strength training is the number 1 best way to increase that metabolism on a regular basis. These programs are best managed by a professional. Taking a class or getting a personal trainer to get you started is the best way to do it safely without any experience. Variety is the key. Variety in weight, variety in range of the motion, variety in the number of reps, and variety in equipment used will all get the job done.
One last reminder....Working out is not a license to eat whatever you want. You want results...You have to watch what you eat and realize your body needs fuel not high fat junk filled with sugar and salt.
Looking for variety? Of course this is where I raise my hand and say come to one of my classes! They are all listed on our website http://www.fit2bmoms.net/ or www.meetup.com/ncfit2bmoms
If your at a stand still and your not losing the weight you want to lose....embrace the variety.
