High Intensity Interval Training

You Should know strength  training builds muscle mass and keeps my bones strong. So one of your goals for the year is to try strength-training program. When we mention a goal of losing weight, what we mean to say is that we want to lose fat. A common strategy to do so is by drastically cutting calories or doing lots of cardio, or worse, both. However, when we do this, we may very well lose some weight initially, but more and more of it will be muscle. You may have also heard that muscle burns more calories than fat. This statement is very true. In fact, recent studies show that muscle burns 6 calories per pound, per day at rest versus 2 for fat (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition). So, we can summarize that muscle burns 3 times the calories at rest that fat does. The bottom line is that having muscle burns more calories and therefore contributes to a higher metabolism. If we are going to lose fat or maintain a loss, we want a higher metabolism.

It should also note that copious amounts of cardio may very well burn calories, but it cannot help shape your body. Whether female or male, nearly all would prefer a firm body that looks healthy and fit. If you are familiar with the term skinny fat, it refers to the body that might very well fit into a small clothing size, but that looks loose, maybe has some dimpled skin, is sagging in areas 

typically gets worse with age. This is not ideal, but can be the effect of overdoing cardio without training, and fueling, the important muscles of body. There are so many options, variables, modalities and exercises when it comes to strength training that it is nearly impossible to get bored. High Intensity Interval Training is sure to get you cardiovascular and strength benefits when done correctly in a short amount of time. This leaves you less time to get bored and more time to enjoy the rest of your life!
