How Building Muscle Burns Fat

Building muscle is an effective way to burn fat and achieve weight loss goals. Here's how it works:

1. Increased Metabolism

Muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue, which means that as you build muscle, you will increase your metabolism and burn more calories throughout the day.

2. Afterburn Effect

After a strength training workout, your body continues to burn calories as it repairs and rebuilds muscle tissue. This means that you will continue to burn calories at an increased rate even after your workout has ended.

3. Targeted Fat Loss

While you can't spot-reduce fat in specific areas of your body, building muscle in certain areas can help to tone and shape those areas, creating the appearance of targeted fat loss.

Incorporating strength training into your workout routine can help you build muscle, burn fat, and achieve your body composition goals.
