3. Move it to lose it.
Eating well alone will not help to reduce body fat and create lean muscle mass. Cardiovascular exercise and strength training, the second components to a healthy lifestyle, must also be incorporated into your daily plan for better health. To boost the body’s metabolism, a combination of cardiovascular exercise and strength training, which helps the body create lean muscle mass for optimal fat burning, is necessary.
The average person trying to maintain a healthy weight should work out three times a week with strength training for 20 to 30 minutes, and should also incorporate a cardiovascular workout four to five times a week. For someone trying to lose weight, they should work out for 45 minutes five to six times a week combined with strength training. As muscles are developed, they’re able to burn calories more efficiently and effectively, meaning those with a body composition that is higher in lean muscle-mass will burn more calories throughout the day, simply by conducting their day-to-day activities like walking up stairs or carrying groceries to the car.

No, that's not true. In my experience, the contrary is true.
Lifting heavy weights will make a person stronger. Running the treadmill will give a person more stamina. Neither will make them lose fat faster than staying in bed all day long. That's right folks, staying in bed all day long is the fastest way to lose fat. I've tried it and it works. 2 lbs during the month of training. 7 lbs during the month of staying in bed.
