TRAINING TIPS
Understand Your Metabolism
All living things must have a continuous supply of energy and matter. The
transformation of this energy and matter within the body is called metabolism.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the largest component of energy expenditure
and is defined as the calories necessary for the maintenance of normal body functions
in resting conditions, such as beating your heart and breathing. Exercise is
the best way to increase your resting metabolic rate, specifically strength training.
Strength training will increase your muscle mass. Increasing your muscle mass will
increase the amount of calories you burn while you are resting. Imagine putting
in three days a week at the guy, pumping iron, and over time, notice you are
burning more calories while you are watching T.V.!
