One pound of Fat vs. Muscle PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 29 April 2010 13:58

To get you all motivated for the spring season, think about this:
Is a pound of fat the same as a pound of muscle?

What do you think?

Well, the reality is that muscle is denser than fat, so a pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat. That means when you gain muscle, even without losing a lot of fat, your jeans will fit you better!

And here’s the best part!, IN ADDITION (literally!), the more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism has to work to keep up. It has been found that 10 pounds of fat burns 20 calories a day. Guess how many calories are burned with 10 pounds of muscle? Ready? 50 calories! Heck, that’s a small piece of 72% chocolate!

GET MOVING! and let me know what you’re doing?
