Strength training can also be used to increase muscle strength and endurance by lifting lighter weight in a higher rep range, such as eight to 12, or 15 to 20. When looking at the effectiveness of weight-loss exercises in terms of calories burned per minute, weight training comes second to cardio.
If we look at the kind of persons most likely to be eligible -- single mothers living in poverty with children under 18 to support -- we find little difference in welfare participation by race: 74.6% of African Americans in such dire straits are on welfare, compared with 64.5% of the poor white single moms.
Say we lived in a state with 100 whites and 10 blacks. Let's then say a quarter (25) of the whites are on welfare. Lets also say ALL (all 10 of them) the blacks are on welfare. 25 whites and 10 blacks are being supported by the working 75 whites. Technically, that's more whites on welfare than blacks. If you look at the population statistics though, it's only a minority of whites but the vast majority of blacks.
