It is to do a fair amount of weight training. Yes, weight training does not only helps in muscle building but also a fantastic way to help in weight loss. Every pound of lean muscle mass you put on burn an extra 50 calories. This means that if you can put an extra of four pounds of lean mass on your body, you can now burn an extra 200 calories by doing nothing because these calories are used in keeping the muscle alive. Focus on getting in two sessions per week of weight training. Do not focus on a certain muscle group but workout the entire body to fully benefit.
