How does combining aerobic exercise with weight training contribute to more rapid weight loss?
What will be an ideal response?
Aerobic exercise and weight training increase caloric consumption during the exercise sessions and for some time after the exercise sessions. Besides this additional caloric output, aerobic exercise trains muscle to increase fat use (decrease glucose use) all day. Weight training increases the amount of tissue (that is subsequently aerobically trained), increasing BMR. Although the increase in BMR (basal metabolic rate) through increased muscle mass is being debated in the literature and merits further research, data indicate that each additional pound of muscle tissue raises the BMR in the range of 6 to 35 calories per day.
