Advantages of Free Weight Training

To build strength, Milo the legendary wrestler of ancient Greece prepared for the Olympiad by carrying a newborn calf on his back every day until the cow was full grown.

Nearby, you can bet there was a woman hauling a 30-lb toddler on her hip who must have been watching and thinking … “muscle head.”

Each of us lifts heavy things as part of our daily lives, be it toddlers, equipment, groceries, or a number of things. Resistance training can make you stronger and these tasks will seem easier.

You don’t have to be an athlete to reap benefits from lifting weights. Anyone who is short of breathe when they walk up a flight of stairs or who just wants to feel and look better can achieve amazing results by adding free weight training to their weekly schedule.

What can Oprah’s trainer do for you?

If you watch Oprah Winfrey you may have caught the shows where she talks about how her personal trainer Bob Greenechanged her life and helped her to overcome the yo-yo weight problems she had between diets. She managed to lose a lot of weight but could never keep it off consistently – until she tried it Bob’s way.

Bob Greene’s Best Life Diet program consists of three-phases, that you proceed through at your own pace. It introduces gradual changes to the diet – his book even list’s a typical week of Oprah’s eating regime – then “each phase gradually leads you to an increasingly healthy and slimming diet and encourages you to increase physical activity.”

In each phase, you’ll be asked to reexamine the decisions you make on a daily basis and gradually alter your habits to achieve lasting results. The book also includes easy-to-follow meal plans that make it simple to meet your daily energy and nutrient requirements, whether you are on the run and breakfast means a quick smoothie or you have time to shop for fresh produce and make something special.
