Will resistance training help me burn fat?


Yes, resistance training is very beneficial for burning fat.  Our muscle tissue is very metabolically active, meaning that it requires a lot of energy (calories) for our bodies to maintain.  Resistance training is extremely important because it forces the body to maintain its muscle tissue, which will help to maintain our metabolism, even if our calorie intake is reduced.  If we are able to maintain, or even increase, our metabolism with resistance training while taking in less calories, our body has to rely on stored body fat as fuel.  Over time, this should make you leaner and more toned.
