Body Fat and Resistance Training

If you are the same weight now that you were in High School, I can bet you aren't the same body composition. Starting at about the age of 20 if you are not doing anything to promote the growth of muscle mass then you are losing about 2lbs. of muscle a year. The take away is that we all must be doing some form of resistance training to gain muscle or we will be fatter every year even if our bodyweight remains the same.

 My preferred resistance training is a combination of bodyweight exercises such as push-ups and pull-ups, with free weight and machine exercises. Find a form of resistance that gives you pleasure and keep at it or change to a different one but, you can't give up the fight. I know it's working for me!!!
