Strength Training for Weight Maintenance

Losing weight is hard. Keeping it off is harder. Research shows that people who maintain weight loss long-term share one common habit: regular strength training. Muscle keeps your metabolism elevated, makes daily activities easier, and provides structure that prevents the drift back to old habits. This program is designed for maintenance.

Why Strength Training Prevents Regain

When you lose weight, you lose both fat and muscle. Lost muscle means lower metabolism—your body burns fewer calories at rest. Strength training rebuilds and maintains muscle, keeping metabolism from dropping.

Exercise creates a "buffer zone." Regular training means occasional dietary indulgences don't derail your progress. You have more room for life's normal variations.

The habit matters as much as the exercise. Regular training provides structure that keeps health behaviors on track. It's easier to maintain weight when exercise is non-negotiable.
