Muscle Burns Fat yes it is true...
The best way to increase your metabolism is by adding lean muscle tissue through strength training. Why? Because MUSCLE BURNS FAT! Simply put, muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue does, even when you’re at rest.
1. Strength/Resistance Training
Make it a goal to include strength/resistance training in your workout routine at least 2-3x/week. Strength training includes lifting weights, doing exercises with resistance bands, yoga, Pilates, push-ups, crunches, etc.
2. Add Resistance to Cardio
You can multi-task and add resistance to your cardio, kickboxing, or aerobic exercise of choice, by adding weighted gloves or ankle weights (careful here). As long as you use proper form to avoid injury, adding weights not only intensifies the cardiovascular and metabolic effects of aerobic exercise, but has the added benefit of increasing lean muscle at the same time!
3. Push Muscles to Failure in 8-10 reps
The latest research shows that the most effective way to increase lean muscle tissue is by lifting heavy and pushing the muscles to failure in 8-10 reps. This means that as your muscle grows and changes, you need to continually monitor your progress and adjust your weights accordingly. The stronger you get, the more weight it will take to get you to failure in 8-10 reps. Track and monitor your workouts, and continually adjust your weights for maximum results.
Girls don't worry about getting to bulky...we don't have the same hormones as the men..unless your on Roids you will be fine.
