weights burn fat
weights burn fat: Too many people exclude weight training from their routines
when trying to burn fat. This is a costly mistake! Weight training spares and
conditions our muscle mass. If you didn't weight train while dieting then you would
end up burning up a lot of your muscle as energy. This is a dieters worst enemy,
muscle needs a lot of calories too maintain itself. Quite simply put, the more muscle
you have, the more fat you will burn. If you don't lift you can kiss your muscle
goodbye, along with your metabolic rate. Not only that, but weight lifting doesn't
stop by burning calories in the weight room. It actually raises our metabolism
significantly for hours following our workouts! Therefore, we are actually still burning
major calories even after we have left the gym! My weight lifting routine will be the
backbone of this fat loss program. It will be fast pace and furious. It's results will be
equally furious, though!
