Look sexy
Looking sexy is not just about losing the extra fat. Losing fat sure makes you look slimmer or at times even outright thin, but sexy is about the curves and the definitions.

Continue to look sexy
Weight training not just makes you look sexy today but keeps you there for a long time to come. Fact: Among the ones that stop workouts totally, people who lost weight through aerobics like running and swimming gain them back faster than the ones that lost weight through weight lifting. Reason: Weight lifting increases protein cells in the body that help digesting food, increases metabolism that is. Conclusion: Now that is yours to make..Hint: Madonna at 60 still looks and performs the way she always did??!

Myth buster for the day
Most girls think weight training will make them look too muscular. If you are afraid of looking like the women in body building magazines, I’ll tell you one thing.
