Twice a Week Weight Training Prevents Weight Gain in Women

This is absolutely the case. I have personally conducted thousands of fitness training sessions with women throughout Los Angeles. It is not about the quantity of workouts, but the quality. Workout out with weights will develop fat burning, metabolically active lean tissue. The weight training session stimulates lean tissue development that occurs only during the rest day. Therefore, weight training two days each week is shown to be optimal.
