Posted March 19th, 2008 by usgirl

I was blog tagged recently by “Be Fit with Biray” and this tagging is actually kind of interesting.The rules are as follow:

  1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
  2. Open the book to page 123.
  3. Find the fifth sentence.
  4. Post the next three sentences (sentences 6-9).
  5. Tag five people.

The book has to be fitness related and tagging must include health & fitness bloggers. So here is my contribution:But if you fall in the latter camp, you need to know that weights aren’t just made for twenty-year old guys trying to impress the coeds. There are benefits to weight training—no matter your age or fitness level. For one, weight training adds to your body lean muscle mass, which, over time, consumes more calories than fat, and therefore helps keep your weight down. For another, it makes your muscles stronger and better equipped to go through the motions of life. In fact, increasing the strength of your lower back is the top way to avoid lower-back pain.This excerpt comes from the book YOU: The Owner’s Manual by Michael F. Roizen, M.D. and Mehmet C. Oz, M.D. This is a very good book for learning the basic ins and outs of your body.I am tagging the following health & fitness bloggers if they haven’t already been tagged:John is FitThe Fit ClubWorkin’ On My FitnessWorkout MommyWorld Fitness NetworkLooking forward to reading your answers!This post is sponsored by:If you’re interested in learning exactly what to eat to lose fat the natural way - without supplements, without drugs and without slowing down your metabolism - while also learning the why behind it all, then Tom Venuto’s program could truly change your life: Burn the Fat, Feed the MuscleNote: If you are not reading this at www.tryingfitness.com then you are reading a scraped feed!Visit www.tryingfitness.com and subscribe by email or by using the RSS feed.
