Today on the show Leanne and Jess are talking about why you probably need to be lifting weights (really though). As our resident exercise expert, Jessica goes into detail about everything you need to know about weights to get started with a routine.

Here are a few of the questions answered:

• What are the benefits of strength training?
• What the heck is hypertrophy?
• If I want to tone up, should I be doing more reps?
• Won't I get bulky though?
• What about exercise classes - do those count?

Today on the show, Leanne and Jessica dive into the concept of NEAT (non-exercise physical activity). It sounds like a mouth full, but it's essentially just the random unplanned activity you get throughout your day through things like moving around, cleaning, and walking to your nearest coffee shop for an afternoon pick-me-up (our favorite!). Here are some of the main points:

• The science behind NEAT
• Why you might not be as "active" as you think you are (even if you workout every day!)
• Simple ways to incorporate more NEAT into your day and how it benefits your health

Resources/Brands noted:

• NEAT source
• Celestial Seasonings Sangria Zinger Tea
