I have so many people argue that they don’t need resistance in their training program. I hear all the time “running is my thing”. Don’t get me wrong, running is great cardiovascular exercise. I can guarantee you that same runner will be asking why they can’t seem to get tone or why they seem to be flabby. The answer is there is no resistance training. Resistance is weight moved. It is the training that produces muscle tone (building muscle, not toning fat). The weight must be small enough to perform an exercise through the full range of motion with proper form yet heavy enough that it makes the muscle tired or taxed for the desired number of repetitions. Without resistance you can’t build or tone muscle. So…….pick up those weights!!!!!!
