Bonnie pumps it up
Intro:
“Hi, I’m Bonnie Kaye. Strength training is of the best ways to turn
your body into a better fat-burning machine. But there are many ways to
do it.”
Nats, Sara’s class

This class, led by trainer Sara Kooperman, incorporates three types
of strength training: calistenics, rubber tubing and dumbbells. Fitness
director Martica Heaner says more women are realizing weights can help
them slim down, rather than bulk-up.

“Women don’t have the testosterone levels, and they don’t spend the
hours and hours in the gym lifting heavy, heavy, heavy weights, like body
builders do. So if you’re lifting a 10-pound dumbbell, you have no worry
of looking like that.”

Women and weights have always been a good mix for clients of exercise
physiologist Tom Seabourne.

“Number one, Bonnie what I’ve seen is that women really increase their
self-esteem. They start to feel stronger, they start feeling good about
themselves.”

“Secondly, she notices her whole body begins to change. I’ve seen women
take aerobics, and they’ll go in with a certain body, and they’ll come
out with that same shape years later, but maybe just a smaller version.
With weight training you can change the shape of your body.”

And rev up your metabolism because the more muscle you have, the more
calories you’ll burn all the time. For Fitness Magazine, I’m Bonnie Kaye.
