Smart Weight Loss Edge

Did you know that even when you’re not doing anything, your body is doing something?

I’m serious! Think about when you’re lounging in bed, watching The Biggest Loser and utterly vegging out, your body is still being active beyond belief.

After all, your heart is still pumping. Your blood is circulating. You’re breathing. Your liver is liverizing. You get my drift!

To keep your body alive, your body requires a base minimum of calories, otherwise known as your basal metabolic rate. The Discovery Site has a great resource that lets you discover your BMR here.

Anywhos, different components of your body require different amounts of energy to stay, well, alive. It takes more energy to keep a pound of muscle alive, for example, than a pound of fat. And that means, the more muscle you add to your body, the calories you’ll burn…even when you’re at rest watching people shed 87 pounds while at The Biggest Loser Ranch.

So! If you’re on a weight loss and fitness journey, adding strength training and weight lifting can only help speed you to your goals. And there are tons of wonderful resources out there for you, including:

• Mistress Krista
• Weight Training 101
• Weight Lifting Exchange Forum

Never fear the iron, men or women alike! It can really boost your weight loss results more than you could imagine.

Enjoy!
