Building Muscle - Since muscle tissue has a large blood supply, its metabolic rate is higher than that of fat. In other words, muscles consume more calories to sustain activity than fat does. So training to promote muscle growth will assure weight loss success in the long run, for the more muscle you have the higher your metabolism will rev, even when you are not active.

Women have a difficult time accepting this and are fearful that they will get big and bulky muscles. However, due to the minimal level of the male hormone testosterone in their bodies, it is not possible for women to get huge muscles like men unless they take steroids. Muscle also is more dense than fat so pound for pound it takes up less space which creates a smaller more compact fat burning machine.
