24 Hour Fitness

24 Hour Fitness

When you first see the term 24 Hour Fitness your mind turns to those highly lighted gyms with people using the treadmills at all hours of the night !

I am going to be focussing on the concept of 24 hour fitness in the way that your body sees it.

When you exercise aerobically not only does your heart rate speed up but the muscles in your body get a good workout.
Muscle is the key to burning fat, so this is what you want to focus on.

Recently I saw a program on anorexic lifestyle. One girl had a BMI of 18 but a body fat count of 28% !
She ate very little and did very little exercise. Of course, how could she exercise with no fuel ?

One resource I was recently looking at discusses the relationship between burning calories and muscle mass.
It is Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle

More next time on the working of muscles in burning fat in our bodies.
