Ever wonder if you can target weight loss to one area of your body – like that pooch on your belly? You can’t! But what you can do is create lean muscle tissue in your midsection.
Lean muscle tissue is what gives you the ability to burn fat at rest. It’s the core secret to a revved up resting metabolism, which means how many calories you burn even when doing nothing; sleeping, standing, sitting, etc. It’ll help you slough off fat in all areas of your body, including your tummy.
So how do you get lean muscle? Strength training! It’ll help create what’s called the “after-burn” effect. When you do any kind of workout, your body has to do a little extra work when you’re done to recover to homeostasis, or its resting state. During this time, your body will continue burning calories. Studies have shown that the after-burn can last anywhere from 16 minutes to 16 hours!
So working out has two advantages: a revved up metabolism and the after-burn. Those are two very good reasons to exercise today!
To build lean abs and ignite your after-burn.
