Tip of The Day

If you exercise to lose weight, you probably know cardio  is key… or is it ???   The best way to burn fat is to increase dscf0638your metabolic rate by increasing your lean muscle.  And how do you do that?  Good old fashioned weight – training.  Muscle burns calories all day long.  Doing  cardio only burns calories while you’re  working out.  Weight training increases your metabolism  up to 24 hours AFTER  your workout is over!!

You do burn a highter percentage of calories from fat doing lower – intensity cardio exercise.  However, by weight training, you burn more overall calories throughout your day.
