Elliptical Resistance

A study at the Brain Research Centre in Canada found that a total-body weight-training routine once or twice a week can make you smarter. Women who took part in the study participated in either a total-body weight-training routine for one year or body-weight-only exercise classes. The women in the first group scored 13 percent higher on mental attention tests. Teresa Liu-Ambrose, Ph.D. states:

Learning proper lifting form and technique stimulates brain function, which improves mental skills, such as concentration and memory.

Dr. Liu-Ambrose was the lead study author and is an assistant professor of physical therapy at the University of British Columbia.

I just read an interesting article by Rusty Moore, author of Fitness Black Book, recently wrote an excellent article about Omega 3 supplements and if they aid in weight loss. As you may know, Omega 3 supplements reduce your insulin levels throughout the day. If your insulin levels are two high, you can’t use fat for fuel. Omega 3 supplements may help in your weight loss routine, read about Rusty’s findings on his blog. You can also find out more information about fitness training at Fitness Black Book Facebook page.
