Well hello, motivation!
I read this in one of the forums: “A single 24-hour period of inactivity can lead to a 25-percent increase in the amount of fat tissue and a 19-percent increase in the size of fat cells, according to University of Missouri-Columbia researchers who studied the effects of daily exercise and inactivity.”
Wow. I find this very interesting and motivating. Sometimes I get frustrated about exercise because I feel like I work so hard and I should be burning hundreds of calories, a thousand even! But I know that aside from simply burning calories, building muscle increases metabolism. And now, after reading that quote, (if it’s even true… which, if it’s not, who cares? It’s still motivation, right?) I’m even more excited to get working out. I just hope it’s not toooooo tooo hot tomorrow

Interesting I always though you burn calories even in your sleep.. but at the same time 24 hours of doing nothing could do lot of harm to your body… like not eatting puts you into a starvation mode, prob the same concept.. Could definitely be true… Good luck and keep moving!
It is so hard to find the motivation to work out let alone lift weights but the benefits are definatly worthwhile.
Wow that’s scary really. It definitely helps to motivate!
