2 - Hey, get off the treadmill :
This one is for all of you folks out there trying to drop pounds by "burning calories." Yea sure, if you burn more calories than you take in, you are going to lose weight, but all you do on the treadmill is burn those calories right there at that moment. You barely burn any more because you are not breaking down any muscle fibers. Do you want to know how to burn calories the most effectively? Build muscle! That's how.
See, when your muscles are repairing themselves, you are burning through a ridiculous amount of calories just sitting there on your butt. Then once you have built that muscle, it burns through over 30x (thirty times) more than fat. You are essentially turning yourself into a fat burning machine. You'll literally burn fat away WHILE YOU SLEEP.
That means on your day off, you burn more calories just sitting on your butt than you would an hour on a treadmill. Seriously, you will. This is the hardest concept to get across to people, especially women. Have you ever noticed that all the fat people are on the treadmills and ellipticals and all of the lean and in shape people are lifting weights? Coincidence? Nope. So get to lifting.
