combining Cardio with Weight Training

Combining cardio AND weight lifting in an exercise regimen produces far superior fat-burning results.
Lifting weights will help boost your metabolism, helping you to burn fat more efficiently.

The more Lean Muscle a person has, the higher one’s “resting metabolic rate” will be.

Someone with a fast metabolism will burn more calories
than someone with a slow metabolism doing the same amount of work.

One pound of muscle can burn 30 to 50 calories a day.

One pound of fat burns only 3 calories a day.

Weight lifting also helps our body to process glucose more efficiently,
and intense weight lifting increases the metabolism for hours after exercise.

Weight lifting strengthens connective tissue; improves joint stability; increases bone density;
helps us to sleep better; and blow-off steam easier …

And is one of the BEST WAYS to look and feel better about oneself -- increased self-confidence!

ITA!!

Here's something else I'd like to share.....my trainer has me lifting an upper body exercise immediately followed by a lower body exercise. She said that this causes the heart to have to work harder (hence some additional "cardio") to get your blood flowing to the right area. She said this will also help burn more calories during your workout. I use a BodyBugg and I can see that it definetly makes a difference.

I am a true believer in this--the fact that as I type this, my muscles are burning calories just thrills me to no end! I LOVE weight training, and seeing my body transforming as a result of it is fantastic!!
