Burn Fat, Not Muscle
November 7, 2008 by mrogers
When you’re trying to lose weight, you want to burn fat, not muscle. As you build muscle mass, your metabolism increases and it becomes easier to lose weight. When you’re burning fat, your muscles are working and growing stronger.
Exercise is the key to helping you burn fat, not muscle. Cardiovascular exercise is great for promoting fat loss, as your body burns calories while your lungs and heart get a good workout. Weight training is important to help support and strengthen your bones, but it will not do much on its own for weight loss.
To burn fat, not muscle, you should aim to perform cardiovascular exercise 5 days a week for 45 - 90 minutes. This will help your weight loss efforts tremendously!
