Rachel Cosgrove (famous trainer & fitness author) comes up on my FB notifications, and she's just published a new article on skinny fat... basically discussion on how people can still be obese in terms of their BF% yet are technically their ideal weight on the scale.

    I love this bit:

    "Many women carry purses that weigh 10 to 20 pounds, yet they head into the gym to change their body and lift little five-pound dumbbells. That won’t change your body. Use weights that are challenging and will build lean body mass to boost your metabolism and lead to a toned, fit body long term."

    Ditto!! That's my favorite quote on her page. I love heavy weights and keep increasing as I go.
