Why weights? Three reasons to make time for strength training:
-
Stave off osteoporosis. Resistance training increases bone density, which can prevent age-related loss.
-
Keep your metabolism revved. Muscle trumps fat for calorie burning—add more, burn more.
-
Look slimmer. Pound for pound, muscle takes up less space than fat. Boost muscle and you'll appear thinner.
