The more muscle you have, the more fat your body will burn. You know how they say.. breathe in when you make certain movements during exercise and breathe out at the hardest part of the exercise..such as weight training? Well there is a reason for it. Also too, how many calories does muscle burn v/s fat? Here's a good resource link. http://exercise.about.com/od/exercis...s/f/muscle.htm Q. How Many Calories Does Muscle Really Burn? A. Most people know that muscle burns more calories than fat but, just how much more? Ever since I got certified more than eight years ago, I've been told that a pound of muscle burns anywhere from 30 to 50 calories per day. However, after doing some research, I've found that number isn't accurate. In fact, a pound of muscle only burns about 6 calories a day...a lot less than what many of us thought, but still more than a pound of fat, which burns only 2 calories in a day. If you can expect to burn 6 extra calories for each pound of muscle you have, you might also wonder how much muscle can you expect to gain once you start lifting weights. According to Dr. Cedric Bryant, Chief Exercise Physiologist at ACE [1], the average person usually gains about 3-5 pounds of muscle mass every 3-4 months. Of course, how much muscle you put on is based on your genetics, gender, exercise program and diet, so each person will have a different response to weight training. So, what does this mean? That you shouldn't bother lifting weights if you're trying to lose weight? I think you know the answer to that question. 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 [6] 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. And remember the other benefits of weight training: Prevents loss of lean body mass that happens from dieting and/or aging Weight training workouts burn calories Helps change your body composition, which helps shape your body and keep you healthy Strenghtens bones and connective tissue along with muscles Helps keep you strong and active as you get older The bottom line is, strength training is important for almost any fitness goal, whether you want to lose fat, gain muscle or just get in better condition.

Depending on how an individual exercises muscle can burn fat in a larger proportion to glucose. When activity is light and easy we tend to burn a much higher percentage of fat. Fat is a slow burning fuel that requires oxygen so if oxygen is delivered to muscle cells in sufficient quantities the cells can easily burn fat for most of its energy requirement. A potential problem for weight loss is lighter exercise burns fewer total calories. If an individual increases their effort by performing a more intense exercise they WILL burn more calories however, because oxygen cannot always be delivered to the hard-working cells in sufficient quantities, cells are forced to burn more carbohydrates in order to keep up with increasing demand. If the level of exertion continues to increase then glucose eventually becomes the predominant energy source for muscles as this quick-burning fuel does not require oxygen. It means to burn fat directly we should exercise at a lower level of effort and for longer duration. However some people just don't have the time to exercise for longer periods. The only way to burn fat quickly is to increase the metabolism through anaerobic exercise so we burn the fat indirectly. Fitness expert Tom Venuto has taught thousands of people worldwide exactly how to use certain exercises to burn fat fast. Fat burning tips Burning fat requires continuous smooth movements so learn to develop a rhythmic style when exercising Breath slightly deeper and use a little more lung capacity for effective fat burning Do not hold breath during exercise! WARNING! If you possess a high number of fat cells you MUST exercise & diet using correct scientific principles in order to empty fat cells, any other way will result in water loss and potential regain after diet stops.

Lianna, Susan and Meow, Thank you for comments I'm speechless. Thank you thank you thank you.

Jones, writing this thread means alot to me. I didn't see this thread yesterday. In fact, EmileeKaye gave me a "heads-up" in my yahoo window this evening. :omg: I can't believe you guys.. This is very very sweet... I have to say that I feel honored to be thought of during the day..during workouts, etc. I've read a few people say how "Telly popped into their head" and I think that's hysterical. My crazy workouts was never intended to haunt people What's good about this forum is the continuous support we give eachother, counter inspire and motivate one another. It means that I'm helping people, something I never thought I would be doing on this board. I came here looking for help and not only did I find and continue to find it but I found that I am contributing something good as well. Well hey..... that's all right! Jones, I did ride my bike today, however the weather scared me 3.25 miles down the road so I headed back. I loved the feeling. It's one of the best, free feelings I've ever felt. Yes, I go up small hills, down.. against the wind (:faint: ) and then some. I've ridden over snakes, curbs, dodging cars... it's fun. Once I strap my Ipod in, nothing gets in my way. I have to thank energy drinks and the Ipod for my successful completion of the crazy bike rides. I DID bike in the heat.. till it recently got hotter. I biked from March - early June. The heat and the rain became major factors in my decision to join a gym, but I still try to get on the bike when the weather is predictable. Best times are early morning's or around 5:30pm - 7:00pm, when the bugs aren't out yet. I've swallowed a few so I know after 7pm is a no no. If you go out at this time, wear sunshades. It shields the bugs from hitting the eyeballs :bananajump: Jones, you are doing fantastic. Your whole family is involved and it makes things more interesting. They will remember times like that when they are older. They'll want to bike with their own kids. Tricia, EmileeKaye, MoOrLess - you counter inspire me. You keep me motivated. When I see temptation, I think of you guys and how I'd get my ass kicked if I indulged. I think that's funny. Love you all and I am here to help, however I can.

TODAY'S ACTUAL - ALREADY DONE WORKOUT CARDIO TRAINING 12:30PM - Rode my bike 6.5 miles (Had to turn back b/c of thunder and lightening, very very scary.) 1:10PM - Gym - 30 minutes burned 325 calories on the Elliptical. 30 min jog/walk on my home treadmill tonight before bedtime CIRCUIT TRAINING Leg curls - 15 reps, 3 sets at 40lbs Hemstring curls 15 reps, 3 sets at 40lbs Calve raise - 15 reps, 3 sets at 40lbs Leg press - 15 reps, 3 sets at 220lbs Abbduction - 15 reps, 3 sets at 40lbs Adduction - 15 reps, 3 sets at 60lbs FREE WEIGHTS TRAINING Squats - free weights - 15 reps, 3 sets @ 50lbs (THIS HURT LIKE HELL) Weighed after workout and dropped 3lbs (water, fat, whatever..I'll take it)

That's awesome EmileeKaye. I really hope you get that job. You'll practically be at the gym all day if you get it, which will put you in the right place. I didn't go to the beach today, DH changed his mind and I'm upset about that. I told him that I WILL GO NEXT WEEKEND WITH OR W/O HIM. He hates sand. Instead, I am going for a 16.5 mile bike ride and then to the gym and then back to work.

Didn't run an extra 2 miles last night. In fact, I conked out on the sofa watching a movie with Samuel L. Jackson.

07/01/2006 2 mile run on the treadmill at home 90 minutes of Power 90 (uggh)

Esq, Don't fret girlfriend, been there, done that. Trust me, it's ok to take a break. Don't overdo it where you feel you loathe it. I'm ok now but at some point, I was doing too much. I take off a day every other week and I really do nothing the whole day
