A little reminder from our friends at CrossFit Generation on why lifting heavy weights is the key to weight loss...
Losing fat involves increasing your metabolism; and muscle plays a huge role in raising metabolism. A pound of muscle burns about 60 calories a day while a pound of fat burns only 5 calories. That means any growth in your muscle tissue is going to help you burn more calories all day long. In fact, weight training has all kinds of great effects on your body:

Increasing resting metabolic rate so you burn more calories, even while at rest.

Making you lean and strong - muscle takes up less space than fat, so the more muscle you have, the slimmer you are.

Strengthening bones and connective tissue, which can protect your body from injuries in daily life.

Enhances balance and stability.

Building confidence and self-esteem.
