5. Lift Weights
The idea that weight lifting is only for steroid junkies and meatheads is completely false. Everyone stands to gain by having just three short weight lifting sessions a week. To put it simply, lifting weights increases your muscle. Increasing your muscle increases how many calories your body naturally burns in a day. Muscles need a lot of calories to stay active. So you can see how building a little muscle presents a great long-term solution to continued weight loss. Focus on weight lifting that gives you the best workout. This is things like assisted dips and pull-ups, chest and shoulder presses, rows, deadlifts, squats and lunges. Remember that lifting weights keeps you lean.
