The benefits of weight training. Weight training is like a medicine: It controls weight; tones entire body; strengthens bones; improves mobility; increases strength.
I know exactly how you feel Ellie...it can be scary, but I've recently paid a little less attention to the scale (although I still use it diligently) and instead I focus more on increasing my exercise intensity and duration, knowing this will take care of the fat loss and body toning. Knowing I'm working harder on my exercise and diet plus seeing my clothes size shrinking helps to lessen my fear of the numbers. I also look at a lot of pictures that show the positive changes a person's body goes through on a good weight training program - this helps to keep me motivated. Well done you on staying focused and doing the work. Keep going, you'll get there :)
