Weight Training and Weight Loss
We’ve long believed in the weight-loss benefits of weight training.
But now Japanese scientists have discovered that lifting weights before you run helps you burn more fat while you pound the pavement.
In fact, men who performed a weight-lifting routine and then hopped on a stationary bike burned twice as much fat as those who only pedaled.
Weight training stimulates the release of fat-burning hormones, which trigger your body to use more lard for energy. [source: Men's Health]
