Workout of the Week

Muscles are fat burning machines. The more muscles you have the more fat you will burn. By just sitting on your body muscles burn 30-60 calories per pound of muscle.

I find cardio after my weights the most effective. Glycogen stores have already been depleted, so once you start training you start burning fat as soon as you elevate your heart as it is the only fuel available.

We discussed this in a previous post- read this to see what are the best times to workout:
