Reply from Arwen, Age 17 - 09/07/03 - IP#: 207.90.97.xxx Yes, weighlifting helps a lot! One pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day, and one pound of fat burns 2-5 calories a day. Also, weightlifting increases your metabolism for a while when you lift the weights, as does aerobics and such, but it also keeps it higher for longer than aerobics. But you should do both weightlifting and aerobics to get the full benefit. Because if you don't lose the layer of fat that's on top of your muscles, then you won't see your muscles very well. Good job on losing weight, and keep drinking plenty of water! lol God bless you! P.S. My e-mail is: arwen_elf_16@yahoo.com if you want to e-mail me (this goes for anybody)
Reply from anne, Age 16 - 09/06/03 - IP#: 216.66.108.xxx you need weight lifting and cardio, cardio burns a lot of cals. right away and the muscle you build defines you better and makes it so you burn more calories just sitting around doing nothing. i think it was every 1 pound of muscle you build you burn 50 more cal.s or something like that. which is awesome becasue if you have 1 more pound of muscle you burn 2500 more calories in the course of 24 hours. just think about it- it'll definately help keep the weight off and you'd be fit...
