Muscle strength exercises can help you improve your basal metabolic rate. Simply put, your body has a basal metabolic rate (BMR). When you go on a diet for a period of time, your calorie intake is too low for a long time, so that although you will lose weight, your metabolic rate will only get lower and lower to avoid energy loss (your body starts survival mode). Once you lose weight, you get back to your usual calorie intake. When your BMR drops sharply, you can consume fewer calories than before, and you are getting fatter and fatter because of overeating.

Running belongs to aerobic exercise, which can not help the body to effectively stimulate and increase muscle mass, so it is not helpful to improve the basal metabolic rate.

Reason 2: Running can't exercise your body.

There are three things that will affect your figure:

Your bones, muscles and fat.

You can't change your height and skeleton, but you can change the proportion of muscle and fat in your body. In order to get a supermodel figure, you must increase the ratio of your body to muscle and reduce the ratio of your body to fat. Body-muscle ratio is the weight of your body muscles divided by your total weight. The body fat rate is the same.

So when you lose weight, you must do something to maintain your muscles! Gravity training can help you lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. Exercising muscles will make you lose weight with half the effort! Because more muscles will help you burn fat faster.

Reason 3: Strength exercises are more helpful to lose weight.

The gym uses strength equipment for muscle strength training, which will bring more muscles and gradually increase the metabolic rate of the body at rest, so you will consume more calories every day. Studies have found that every time the body increases 1 pound of muscle, it will consume 35-50 kilocalories every day.

Women who do strength training three times a week gain an average of 1.75 pounds of muscle and lose 3.5 pounds of fat after eight weeks of persistent exercise. Unlike men, women generally don't develop their bodies through muscle strength training, because the hormone level of developing muscles in women's bodies is only110 to 1/30 of that of men.

Reason four: a good hip shape, a good waist can't run out.

If you ever wonder why running can't become them? Because they all ask coaches to do strength training, they will have such strong abdominal muscles and strong buttocks.
