Comments on: Want to Lose Weight? Don’t Just Lift Weights. http://www.balancedhealthblueprint.com/16/want-to-lose-weight-dont-lift-weights/ Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:32:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Charles Bluestein http://www.balancedhealthblueprint.com/16/want-to-lose-weight-dont-lift-weights/comment-page-1/#comment-967 Charles Bluestein Wed, 19 Jul 2006 11:45:49 +0000 http://balance-your-health.com/blog/archives/16/want-to-lose-weight-dont-lift-weights/#comment-967 I read the info about losing weight with aerobics instead of bodybuilding. It did not give any reasons why except that Hiram chuckles at one. One bodybuilder on the web has a bodyfat of 5%. You compared aerobics to anaerobics but the idea behind lifting is not to burn calories at that moment but to burn more calories all the time with extra muscle. Read the info under "exercise" on this site that explains that lifting increases your metabolism so you burn more calories 24/7. http://www.phifoundation.org You have my permission to quote me. They found that people in their 50s can lower their bio-marker age by 20 years by lifting weights. Part of aging is losing muscle in addition to gaining fat. Even if they are not fat, they should lift weights. Is Jack LaLane still alive? He is old and muscular. George Forman (like in the grill) was heavyweight boxing champ of the world. He retired from it at a young age. When he was in his 40s he had a youth center. He bought weights for it. He was using them and so they were working. Then he reached a point where he was stronger than ever before, even when he was boxer. Because of this he got back into boxing for a while even though he was in his 40s. An extra pound of muscle burns an extra 40 calories a day. I read the info about losing weight with aerobics instead of bodybuilding.
