Start the day with a metabolic roar by eating a healthy breakfast. When you start strength training, throw out the scale. If you're converting fat weight to muscle weight, you might not see a difference in the numbers, but your clothes will fit more loosely. Focus on how your clothes fit to note a difference in weight, as well as how you feel. Finally, vary your workout.

Over time, you'll burn fewer calories doing the same exercise. But the things we can control are our level of exercise and muscle mass. Shane Speer is a fitness professional in the Richmond area.
