There are different approaches to lifting weights. Women looking to lift weights often want a feminine and toned look. Here are some tips to get that look. Why Strength Training Is The Workout You Need To Do If You Hang on; it’s complicated. Muscle Mass and Metabolism. One book I recommend is Strength Training for Fat Loss by Nick Tuminello. It provides detailed instruction on lifting weights in a manner that is metabolically costly. That means you burn a lot of calories doing it, plus you build muscle. It’s the “build muscle” part where the author perpetuates a myth, however. In an otherwise great book, Nick says that a pound of muscle burns an extra 3. His source for this is another excellent book: The M. A. X. Muscle Plan by Brad Schoenfeld. Indeed, I’ve never seen any scientific backing for the claim. It’s apocryphal, and I busted it a while back for the Los Angeles Times, interviewing a metabolism researcher and looking at multiple scholarly sources. The reality is that muscle only burns about 6 calories per pound per day while at rest, and if you’re dropping a lot of fat, you also need to account that a pound of fat burns about 2 calories per pound/day at rest. Hypothetically, if you gain 2. This doesn’t even take into account that you’re 4. ![]() The Caloric Cost of Cardio vs. Lifting. Even though Tuminello’s program is high intensity, it’s still not going to equal a hard cardio workout.

However, most of them will make you hungry and unsatisfied. Weight training gives you confidence I recently wrote a whole post about how lifting weights changed my life for the better. Lifting gives you a strength. Compare this to a fast- ish run of 7. METs. As an example, a guy who weighs 2. Nick’s program is probably even higher than 6 METs, because he uses a circuit that makes it “extra vigorous,” but as someone who is both a lifter and a runner, I can’t see this intensity matching the caloric burn rate of a hard run. Oh, and never mind about caloric “after burn” for cardio or weights. It’s been way overblown. It's worth mentioning the broscience articles that say cardio slows your overall metabolism. Any exercise will do that. That’s what getting in shape means. Fine- tuning your body into a higher performance machine, via either weights or cardio, doesn’t turn it into a “fat incinerating blast furnace” while at rest. It makes it more efficient, and added muscle mass doesn’t make much of a dent in this. There is more to this story, however. Comparing Via Clinical Study. A 2. 01. 2 study of 1. Journal of Applied Physiology randomized them into three groups: Resistance training alone (RT), aerobic training alone (AT), or both. RT is on the left, AT in the middle, and both on the right: Source Obviously, both is the way to go for fat loss, but it’s also worth noting that, for this study, doing both took twice as long as just RT or AT. Not everyone has that kind of time or motivation. But what about changes in muscle mass? We have another graph: Source Whoa, that really sucks for aerobic training. And it still “killz gainz bro” a little when coupled with RT. Using this study as an example, strict RT gained the most lean body mass. So far, for fat loss, aerobic training is winning.
