Build Muscle and Lower Body Fat

Q: I HAVE LOST 165 POUNDS. I HAVE ABOUT 15 MORE POUNDS TO LOSE TO REACH MY GOAL. I AM HAVING A HARD TIME LOSING THIS LAST BIT OF WEIGHT AND WOULD LIKE SOME SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT I CAN DO TO BUILD MUSCLE AND LOWER BODY FAT.

A: Congratulations! First you need to stop yelling at me (all caps signify yelling). Just a little netiquette tip for you. Now, you do need to incorporate some weight bearing or resistance type exercises into your workout. They consist of crunches, pushups, pullups, dyna band, etc. This will increase your muscle density (not your size) which in turn will increase you metabolic rate and increase you fat burning ability.
