There is a lot of information about fat burning exercises on the internet. Unfortunately, most of the information is a bit misleading. Typically, the information centers on whether you should be doing aerobic exercise to effectively burn your fat stores or whether you should be building muscle tissue to increase your metabolism to burn your extra fat! The following quote from Adam Zickerman, author of Power of 10: The Once-a-Week Slow Motion Fitness Revolution provides a good example of this:
“Three extra pounds of lean muscle burns about 10,000 extra calories a month. (It) burns as many calories as running 25 miles a week, or doing 25 aerobic workouts a month without leaving your couch.”
This information, if accurate, would lead you to believe that all you have to do to lose body fat is put on an extra three pounds of lean muscle. No need to pound the pavement or treadmill or go to your aerobic class. Just workout with weights until you have gained those three pounds of muscle and you are set for life!
