Sign up for one of the programs here and give it a whirl.

Youdon't want to be smaller and mushy, do you? Strength training will not only make your daily activities easier, it will build bone strength to prevent osteoporosis, it will rev up your metabolism so you don't have to cut your calories as drastically and it will give you a nice, shapely physique when your reach your goal size instead of just being a smaller version of your body now. cardio is good for your heart and good to burn additional calories, but nothing beats strength training for women to reshape and change their physiques! -------------- So what?
