I thought I saw something mentioned here about the new studies showing that maybe muscle doesn't burn as many calories as originally thought. Anyone remember where that info was found???

Thanks!

Susan, I think Nancy324 saw an article about that somewhere. Hopefully she'll see your post and respond to it.

That comment caught my eye one day while scanning the posts too. I wonder too where the information came from but have not had a chance to look back to find the thread. I get so confused with so much conflicting information out there. Nancy help please?:)
 
Yep, the head of the exercise physiology dept. at a local college came to talk to the Y personal trainers and delivered this news to us a couple of years ago. It burst a lot of bubbles in that room, believe me! This is one reason why I never do only weight training on my exercise days - cardio burns the calories, at least in my case. AND this is why I love circuit training!

I'm glad I peeked in here. I was seriously considering purchasing some circuit training workouts. Whenever I do just the strength training,I never feel like I am "done". lol
Thanks for the info. Interesting
