This seems too simple an answer when there are so many supposed "answers" out there to really lose weight. But besides eating healthy, lifting weights helps the body rid itself of fat nearly three times as fast!
Because muscle weighs more than fat, our bodies will utilizes the calories we consume ALL DAY simply because we are paying more attention and exercising our muscles. Free weights are my personal preference because they are easy to use, and because you can switch the poundage depending on which muscle group you are working. This is also a nice method because you don't need membership to a gym.
Any questions to get started? Ask away. Just remember to start off lightly before you begin. And make it a habit to lift weights--you will soon feel your metabolism jumpstart, and your unwanted weight fall off!
