Re: Workout Question

I ask because doing so with the right workout will elevate your heart rate for 20 minutes and throw your metabolism into overdrive.
EPOC is not a significant contributor to total metabolism.

This kind of workout is for those who want to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time.
Circuit training is actually sub-optimal when it comes to building muscle....

Why want to gain muscle as well? Because a gain of 2 or 3 pounds of muscle means you'll expend an additional 70 to 100 calories a day.
Sure about that?
