So let's talk a little bit about muscle and metabolism and then long-term health.
12:17
Yeah, well, I think the biggest...
12:20
Thing with muscle is that it's an active tissue, right? So the more muscle we have...
12:29
the more calories were, you know, women are always focused on the calorie burn, right? So if you can think of muscle is kind of like your engine that keeps the body going and keeps those calories burning, right? It's using that energy versus fat, which, you know, is not an active tissue.
12:53
And so if someone has more body fat than they do muscle, right? they're not going to be burning as many calories after their workout.
13:02
So when we're strength training and we do that strength training workout, it takes a lot of energy after the workout for our muscles to start to rebuild.
13:14
So even while we're sleeping, we're burning more calories.
