Hi,I'm a Water exercise instructor and functional fitness instructor at my
local YMCA...You really need to do weight training and or resistance
training to raise your metabolism...not cardio.Building lean muscle will
burn fat and calories all day long where Cardio exercise is WONDERFUL for
your cario pulminary system, it only burns calories while you are doing
them. Vitabands are an easy, effective and convenient form of resistance
training and muscle strengthening. Water exercise is another WONDERFUL way
to get resistance training AND cardio if you so wish. Another little tip is
to do your weight or resistance training in the beginning of your
day...Working your muscles first thing in the morning will boost your
metabolism and keep it higher throughout the day. If I can be of ANY help
please feel free to e-mail me!!!

There are many resistance things that you can do while walking to build
muscle. Hold your arms at goal post or wear wrist weights. When you walk
take longer deeper strides like squats occasionally. You will feel the
burn. You only need to see a trainer once or twice to learn how to properly
use free weights at home to strengthen your upper body. It would probably
be worth the dough to learn how to do it properly.

Rita, is there a Curves for Women or a Fit for a Lady near you? They are
women only little gyms with cool machines to work out on. I just joined and
LOVE it. Jamie
