METABOLAVA!
(Burn, Baby, Burn!)
Don’t forget resistance exercises in your quest to become healthier and lose weight! When done correctly (start low, build slowly, don’t overdo it) and regularly, they help to improve overall function, reduce the risk of injury, build stronger bones, increase your basal metabolic rate (helping you lose weight), and reduce stress. The Metabolava! exercises below provide a great place to start your journey. They consist of three specially-formulated resistance exercises designed to provide a highly efficient, mostly whole-body workout, and can be done in the comfort of your own home, using only dumbbells and your body’s own weight for resistance. Give them a try!
