There are so many myths surrounding weight and resistance training that it's hard to pick just one!
I had a friend who came to me and said that when he was younger he was in great shape but since he
got married (he's 43) and had some kids that his muscle turn to fat and that he was getting fatter faster
and faster and there was nothing he could do because thats what happens when you age.
I had great news for him...
1. Muscle cannot turn to fat EVER! Turning led into gold might be easier.
2. He was getting fatter faster because he had less muscle to feed! It was NOT because of age.
3. I could not only slow, but I could stop and actually reverse the problem!
Did you know that just 1 pound of muscle consumes 100 calories a day? Did you know
that this means a loss of just 3lbs of muscle mass results in 300 calories a day -2100
calories a week-that used to be consumed by muscle to instead be stored as FAT!?
People need to realize muscle consumes calories 24hrs a day.Fat dont do that.
muscle that is lost due to inactivity can be regained with exercise.My friend started
to work out just 7min a day 3x a week and regained 4lbs of muscle in his first month.
His muscles started to consume calories which was burning fat the calories was being
redirected in two ways.1 he was following http://bit.ly/7min_workout so his body was
building muscle and consuming calories 24hr a day.2 He was adding muscle mass which required extra calories to simply maintain after
recovery is complete...by the end of the 1st month, he was redirecting 400 calories a day to reclaimed
muscle instead of allowing it to be stored as fat! My friend is now 50 and looks 25.
