Muscle requires more caloric energy than fat.
Strength training workouts increase your metabolism naturally because muscle requires more energy, even at rest.
Muscle is made up of:
70% Water
7% Lipid
22% Protein
After age 20 we loose 1/2 lb of muscle mass per year & .5% a year decrease in metabolic rate.
If you don't use it, you loose it!
*** Strength training is the only way to reverse this ***
