Been swimming for around 5-6 years now. Started weightlifting about a month ago and already feel my swim sessions tend to be a lot more effective for calorie burning
Thoughts? I know it makes sense since more muscle = more calories burned but I didn’t expect to feel the difference so soon
More muscle mass = more calories burned, plus eating more protein helps maintain/grow muscles and has a higher thermic effect, burning extra calories as well!
Yes absolutely it can make a big difference, especially over time. Muscle building is slow to see visual changes, but even just a month can make a difference you can feel, absolutely. Especially if your routine is vigorous.
