“Increase your metabolism by increasing muscle”- Delna Pooniwala.
Most people who want to lose fat, indulge in cardio activity. We are all aware that an hour long session of Aerobics, Zumba, aqua sport or Cross trainer would spike your metabolism, resulting in maximum calorie loss & hence weight loss.
However, there is a way by which your metabolic rate could always be on a high. The most effective way is to increase and maintain lean muscle mass.
Muscles are made up of what is called metabolically active tissues which means that it requires energy to be built, used and maintained unlike a slab of fat that just sits there. The best way to build muscle mass is by weight training.
So even if fat loss is your main goal, one should indulge in weight training along with a cardio regime.
