Strength-Training: to Raise Metabolism
Exercise to Boost Metabolic Rate
One way to raise
the body's metabolic rate (the rate at which it burns calories at rest), is to perform a daily exercise workout - such as strength training.
Strength-Training: Faster Metabolic Rate
The benefits of a faster metabolic rate include faster weight reduction and fat reduction. It also helps maintain a healthy weight level as you get older. In addition, a regular strength training workout helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels, as well as healthy cholesterol and blood pressure.
Strength-Training: Calorie-Expenditure
About 45 minutes of strength training burns about 302 calories. In one year, this physical exercise workout uses up a total of 110,230 calories - about 31 pounds of body fat.
Strength-Training and Diet
As well as taking regular strength training exercise, try to follow a healthy eating plan. All diet trials show that a nutritious calorie-controlled diet is essential for long term weight control.
