WHAT IS
RESISTANCE
TRAINING?

A little strength training to your workouts will earn you extra calories
every day. You'll even be burning extra calories while you're sleeping or
sitting on the couch watching TV.  For every additional pound of muscle
you gain, your body burns around 50 extra calories every day.

Research has shown that regular resistance training can increase your
Basal Metabolic Rate by up to 15%. So for someone burning 2000
calories per day, that's a potential 300 extra calories, more than a Mars
bar, burned every single day.

Do not be disheartened if initially you seem to be staying at the same
weight or gaining slightly. Muscle weighs more per square inch than fat,
so whilst your weight might not be dropping very quickly, your clothes
are feeling baggier and you are seeing a healthier, slimmer and better
toned you in the mirror.

B-Active boasts a host of resistance equipment to work every muscle
group.

Chosen for ease of use and smooth operation, the equipment is useable
by all age groups
