Build Metabolism with Weightlifting
Lifting weights 3-4x/week can boost your basal metabolic rate (BMR) by 7-10% [https://x.com/i/status/2031727698414801276]—do those squats!
Resistance training increases lean muscle mass, which is more metabolically active than fat tissue. More muscle means your body burns more calories at rest. A 7-10% increase in BMR could translate to burning an extra 100-200 calories per day for some people. This can contribute to weight loss or maintenance over time. Combining weightlifting with a healthy diet and cardio can maximize metabolic benefits. Consistency is key to seeing long-term results in BMR and body composition.
