You burn extra calories for 12-24 hours after doing anything that raises your metabolic rate, it seems to be proportionate, so dance or aerobics will have more effect than weight training in the short term.

I'm with you on muscle burning more calories in the long term.

It is, but most of us just fit in what we can and any movement is better than none.

How much has your fat/muscle ratio changed?

i dont know jay as i have no way to measure it

alternatively

pick up heavy weights, put them down, pick them up, put them down

do this a few times

build muscle

lose fat at the same time

be able to eat more because you have more muscle

win win

You are not qualified to recommend this to anyone.

taking how boring it may or may not be out of the equation

it is still the best thing for fat loss

the more muscle you have the more cals you burn at rest

you burn calories during and for hours after weight training, you may not burn as many cals during the weights as you do during cardio but after is as important as during

btw HIIT is the best cardio for fat loss

Funny how they don't focus on weights on Biggest Loser then.

HIT is best for improving fitness, not weightloss.

you seem to have confused fat loss with weight loss, its not about what the scales say, its about body fat %

You are recommending a specific type of exercise. That may not be suitable for everyone.

Body fat/muscle/water/etc scales are apparently good for that.

Do you measure yourself with a tape measure? That would give you an idea if things are changing.

i didnt ever say it was suitable for everyone

that does not change the fact that it is the BEST thing for fat loss

they really arent, they are the worst in fact, calipers are slightly better but still not the best

and yes i do take measurements

Err....hang on, who you callin' an unfit fattie???

I'll have you know, most of my calories are burned through the medium of my immense brain power. It needs fuel. Preferably in the form of pies. :whistle:
