8 tips to spring into that summer body (slideshow)

5. Lift weights the Goldilocks way

In a recent study, lifting twice a week vs. once resulted in a lean weight gain of 3.1 pounds compared to the .7-pound lean gain in once-a-week exercisers.

If you’ve gotten into the Monday-Wednesday-Friday habit just because that’s when class is offered or you think more is better, rethink. Data from the aforementioned study showed that lifting twice a week resulted in more energy expenditure. Researchers believed the more frequent exercisers compensated with more couch time while the twice-a-week lifters had more energy and were overall much more active throughout their days.
