Weight Lifting is the Key to getting Lean

So by now most of you have heard about 9 thousand ways to "get lean" right? Here is the deal. Think of a Suburban. BIG GAS HOG. Now think of a Civic. Gas friendly. Now think of calories as the gas. The bigger the vehicle, usually means more fuel. So why on earth would you ever expect to get lean by just doing the C-Word? According to Livestrong.com Running offers very little when talking about upper leg muscle engagement. Lower legs are hammered during running. This is why so many suffer from shin splints when starting a running training routine. Back to the point. To lean up your answer is not putting more miles on the car to use more gas. That will just break the body down quicker. What you need is a bigger fuel demand. "Well Kevin, I don't want to be a suburban!"-whiny girl voice. Have you ever seen a Ferrari engine? That thing is one of the fastest, most streamlined pieces of human engineering every made! The thing is a GAS BLACK HOLE! The government even makes you pay an extra gas tax to own one. It is called a "Gas Guzzler Tax" Look it up. So you want to get lean? Make your muscles stronger. Make them use more energy when at idle. A heavy dose of iron makes the body a race ready machine. A healthy balance of weights and endurance exercises is what you need to be lean, mean machine. Most importantly is the type of fuel going into your vehicle.. Face it, if you owned an $800k car, would you put regular in it? How much is your body worth?
