Fit Facts to Keep You Motivated
On average, starting at age 25, the typical American gains 1 to 2 pounds per year.
When diet is combined with exercise, close to 100 percent of the weight loss is in the form of fat, and lean tissue may increase. Loss of LBM is never good, because it weakens the organs and muscles and slows down the metabolism.
Individuals who remain physically active for 60 minutes or longer, per day are able to keep weight off.
The consumption of carbohydrates/protein snack immediately following strength training, as well as an hour thereafter, further promote muscles growth and strength development.
