Newbie and general question
"diva ex machina" wrote in message ... "determined" : Lift weights. Build muscle. Speed up metabolism. Seriously! Cardio is great, cutting calories is great, but muscle is where your metabolism really is. Gain muscle, and you've created your own fat burning machine. I lift 3 x per week, and I believe that lifting weights has made a HUGE difference in my efforts. Cardio generally only burns calories during exercise, but muscle burns all day long. Something like 35-50 calories per lb... det Good advice. Do you lift weights at a gym or at home? How long do you lift for? If you don't mind me asking, how did you start out -- what exercises, duration, etc. Thanks, Rowena. 273 / 236 / 150 Read this site. Krista has excellent information on weight training and dieting.
