Bonus 1 / Weight loss 101

What you need to know

Fat loss happens when more calories are exhausted than consumed. Running at 5 miles per hour burns about 600 calories in one hour. A yoga class of moderate intensity burns about 350 calories. However, when you strength train two to three times a week gain a considerable amount of lean muscle mass while losing fat. Women typically don’t gain size from strength training, because they have less testosterone than men, the hormone that causes bulking up. Your new muscles will help fight obesity. As you add muscle from strength training, your resting metabolism will increase, so you’ll burn more calories for up to 72 hours past your training session. Added benefit: you will end up with a toned body.
