The #1 Reason Women Have Trouble Losing Weight In Our Culture

Most women believe quite a few lies that have been spread through our culture over the years. Many of these lies are directly responsible for the weight gain that we've experienced as a country. I want to lay a myth to rest that will free you from your overweight slavery and help your body burn fat like a furnace.

If you've been stuck thinking that you need to go jogging every day to get the body you need, then you're believing a myth. Jogging is not the best way to burn fat off your body and slim down. In fact, it can even hinder your ability to do so.

The best exercise you could possibly do to help your body shed fat is lift weights. This is very controversial because many women believe that lifting weights will make us big like a body builder, and we want to be petite right?

The truth is that it's extremely hard to build big muscles, especially for women. Men have a hard time too, and they have up to 10 times more testosterone running through their body (the muscle building hormone). When you lift weights you will be building muscle, but it won't be apparent in size.

Your muscles will break down and get rebuilt but they will become stronger and denser, not bigger. Make sure that you're doing full body lifts that work a large part of your muscle mass. Every time you lift weights you should be working all your major muscle groups.

The great thing about lifting weights is that it builds muscle on your body, which in turn raises your metabolism. With a higher metabolism, it will become easier to burn fat and keep it off permanently.
