Strength-training exercise boosts your metabolic rate (the number of calories you burn each day) by increasing muscle mass. Muscles are active tissues and burn calories throughout the day, even while you're sleeping. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn. Improper form while doing strength-training exercises can lead to injury so start by watching videos to see the instructor's proper form. Now's a great time to breakout the 10-Minute Solution Strength Training Exercise DVD!
