Women in Their 30s who 'Hit the Weights' While Dieting Get Toned = 2lbs of Fat Loss for Each 1lbs of Muscle They Gain

Shape's "fat loss" variety of the FITT workout still focuses on cardio. This article is about a paper by Miller et al.

If you are now expecting another "revolutionary 2 weeks to your beach body" program, I will yet have to disappoint you. In fact, the only thing that is special about this study is that the thrice a week resistance training regimen the 20 women (age 21-23y) followed w...
