Bodybuilding: Get Fit,
Burn Fat
Fitness and Fat-Burning
Combined
A Bodybuilding workout is
a good way to improve fitness and burn stored body fat. Bodybuilding increases
the number of calories burned, and - if combined with a calorie-controlled
diet - will cause the body to burn it's stored fat - including abdominal
fat. In addition, bodybuilding helps to develop the chest and arm muscles,
so you get fit and reshape your body.
Bodybuilding Improves Fat
Percent
About 45 minutes of bodybuilding
burns about 180 calories. In one year, this daily fitness workout burns
a total of 65,700 calories per year - about 19 pounds of stored body fat.
This fat-burning improves the body's fat-percentage - the muscle-to-fat
ratio.

Health Benefits
Because it helps to burn
body-fat, a regular fitness workout (like bodybuilding) contributes to
improved health in several ways. It helps reduce stomach fat, associated
with serious illness; it assists weight control, thus maintaining healthy
cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Finally, it releases endorphins
the happiness chemicals that improve mood. These health benefits are further
boosted by a healthy diet.
