This may be hard to believe unless you’ve actually seen the results yourself, but, if you want to lose weight - especially as a woman over 40 - you need to focus on building MUSCLE first! 💪🏼 Not hopping on a treadmill for an hour of cardio then calling it a day. 👎🏼 Resistance training (sometimes called strength training) is the best exercise to build muscle, which boosts your resting metabolic rate (RMR), or the amount of energy that your body uses at rest. This means that you burn more calories throughout the day when you’re working at your desk, doing chores, or even meditating! Building and maintaining muscle provides many other fat loss-related benefits too, including: - Bone health - Metabolic flexibility - Better insulin sensitivity and a lower risk of diabetes - Regulating food intake, so you actually eat less at your meals Plus, let’s be honest: Building muscle builds confidence and lets you feel better naked, which is what we want when we lose weight. 🤔 Tell me, up until now, what types of exercise have you been doing on your journey to lose weight? ↓ #jjvirginnutrition #weightlossover40 #40andfit #womenover40 #womenover50 #50andfit #resistancetraining
