Even though muscle doesn't burn a huge number of calories on its own, it's still more metabolically active than fat and very important for weight loss. In fact, one study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that, though weight training doesn't burn as many calories as cardio, it significantly increases average daily metabolic rate - the perfect foundation for losing fat.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I think increasing the metabolic rate is the key. It’s what I need to do. So I will continue with my hand weights/routine and crunches, etc. in hopes of building more muscle that will boost the metabolism. Thanks! Sue Here's one for the muscle is better than fat team...
