About Weightlifting

Weightlifting at a vigorous intensity builds muscle mass, increases bone density, and raises your resting metabolic rate. Unlike cardio exercises that burn calories only during the session, weightlifting creates an afterburn effect (EPOC) where your body continues to burn elevated calories for 24-48 hours post-workout. Building lean muscle tissue means your body burns more calories at rest, making weightlifting an essential component of any long-term weight management strategy.
