| Four Seasons Hemet Herald | September 2014 | 28 First of all, let's face it: Putting everything else aside, life is EASIER when you're strong. Carrying groceries in one trip. Children to carry? No problem. Car stuck in the snow? Push it out with ease. Plus, whether you're 100 lbs. overweight or just need to lose the last 15, strength training is one of the most effective ways to burn fat and build muscle. Lifting has been shown to halt and even reverse sarcopenia – the reduction of skeletal muscle that occurs as we get older - which helps us stay independent (and out of a nursing home) and live longer. But in addition to making life easier, strength training has a lot of great benefits right now. Here are just a few: look good nakEd: Strength training helps you lose weight (and body fat) in a few different ways. First, it helps you retain the muscle you have while eating a calorie deficit and losing weight. Second, strength training has a much greater level of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption than aerobic exercise. What does this mean? When you finish a workout, your body needs to do a lot of work to replenish itself in order to bring itself back to a normal state (the way it was before you worked out). This takes a lot of energy, and some studies have shown that it can boost your metabolism for up to 38 hours after you finish your workout.
