Burn Calories--Even At Rest

BURN CALORIES--EVEN AT REST

When we are sleeping our bodies still require a large amount of energy. Our muscles are calorie-burning engines!! Hence, the more muscle mass that you have, the more calories your body will be chewing up throughout your day.

If you consistently do a strength training program, you can increase your body's resting metabolism as well as your calories required to function. An increase in muscle tissue is equal to the increase in metabolism, and the decrease in muscle tissue is a decrease in your metabolic rate. Now it's not surprising to hear that aging, inactive people continue to gain weight even though they may not be eating anything different then before.
