KineBody: Functional Strength Development for Men and Women (Paperback)

Product Description: Eating food is not the problem, and losing "weight" is not the solution! Most of us have been led to believe that the best way to lose body weight is through a low-calorie diet plan that reduces the number of calories we consume. Some of us, who have more enthusiasm for exercise, have learned that regular aerobic activity can also contribute to weight loss by increasing the number of calories burned. However, few of us have heard that remodeling muscle is by far the most effective means for achieving permanent fat loss. That's right-building muscle through safe and sensible strength training essentially guarantees fat loss. Conversely, less muscle leads to a lower resting metabolic rate, which is largely responsible for an increase in a person's fat weight. Because low-calorie diets almost always result in further muscle loss, dieting alone is likely to do more harm than good in the long run. Strength training builds muscle tissue and increases your resting metabolic rate, allowing you to burn more calories even when you are not working out-meaning, you will burn calories all day long! Remember, you are not trying to lose weight. You are trying to lose fat.
