Below is a link to a great article from the BBC website that explains why building lean tissue is the most useful way to keep your metabolism as high as possible.

I especially like this part;

“In the long run, improving your body composition (increasing muscle and decreasing fat) by being more physically active will lead to small but important increases in your basal metabolic rate.!”

Not only will increasing muscle maximise metabolic rate it will also make you stronger, resistant to injury, more capable and useful to yourself and others in everyday life. If you play sports, you will be a better sportsperson - in any sport!

Another great excerpt;

“The bottom line is you’ll gain weight if you consume more calories than your body needs. This can be a difficult fact to face, but recognising the need for change is vital for successful weight loss.”

Better yourself.

The frequency of exercise is debated often.

How often you train is largely dependant on why you are training and how you train.

If you train for health and to look good naked like most people then 3 days per week is just fine, 2 could do it too. How long? Thirty minutes, if you can’t get it done in that time, you’re doing something wrong.

Here is something I wrote for the path to strength (tone) and size;

Frequency is HUGELY important, the more frequent the tension (exercise) the better for strength/growth. Daily exposure to high tensions for long periods is best for hypertrophy and short periods best for tone and strength, but fatigue must be kept low to allow for daily training (recovery must occur and if 85-95% RM used then fatigue is only ever 5-15% inroad max and can be recovered from by most, in a day.) Think of lifting weights/exercising as creating a false gravity for your body. The longer you spend in that heightened gravity the bigger and stronger you have to become. Frequency is key, so fatigue must be handled and minimised.

People who take classes find that they see results for a while at the start of their class career but after a month or so find results slowing dramatically. Two reasons;

1) When they started, the class was near enough to their maximum strength levels that they kept inroad fatigue low compared to now so the recovery rate was quicker.

2) Because it was initially near their maximum strength levels they spent more time under a higher tension that was nearer to their maximum.

Now the body has become stronger the class represents a lower percentage of their maximal strength ability (perhaps 80% at the start and now only 50-60%) so by the end of each class when they have pushed to the limit and are fatigued, their inroads/fatigue sit as deep as 40-50%, this takes a lot longer to recover from than a 20% inroad fatigue but they still keep attending classes 3-5 days a week which doesn’t allow enough time for the fatigue to be recovered from so they stay in a constantly fatigued state; stress hormones raise, body fat may rise and they lose interest. (Recovery from fatigue varies by individual fibre make up, the faster twitch dominant you are the longer your recovery can take so fatigue should be kept as low as possible for frequent training). Come and find out if you are fast twitch dominant - 07742 952 208

If they wanted continued progress they should have in fact made the classes harder so they were nearer the maximum strength efforts again as they were in the beginning (thus inroad/fatigue would lower but higher tensions would be experienced for longer periods of time again) or moved from classes to strength training or sprint training where maximal efforts with minimal fatigue can be achieved regularly.
