While cardiovascular activities like running and cycling burn calories while you have an elevated heart rate, increasing LBM ensures you burn more calories after your workout. When your body has a higher metabolic flame, you are burning energy consistently throughout the day which promotes balanced metabolic functioning. Higher BMR means you burn more calories 24/7 and maintain a steady flow of energy to the body which allows your body to run more efficiently and reduce stress on blood sugar levels. People who have high LBM also have high BMR which means that they’re burning more energy and keeping calorie imbalances in check. BMR refers to the amount of calories your body burns while at rest. ![]() The primary reason for this is that LBM directly impacts your body’s Basal Metabolic Rate, or BMR. One of the most interesting benefits to LBM is its relationship to your body’s metabolic rate. According to InBody, LBM combats obesity, battles diseases, and can protect against insulin resistance. Specifically, lean body mass, or LBM, has significant impact on more than just athletic performance and physique it impacts your overall health and longevity through increasing metabolism and bone density, decreasing the risk of injury and joint pain, and improving energy levels- that’s a big deal! That said, not all muscle is created equal. ![]() If our bodies have more storage available, that means when there is excess fuel, the muscle tissue can absorb more energy rather than storing the excess energy in fat cells. Thus, when you have developed lean muscle, your body is more likely to burn the calories from the food you intake rather than storing them in your body due to an increased metabolic rate.Įnergy is stored in muscle tissue as glycogen the more muscle we have, the more storage available. Opposed to fat cells that store energy from food, lean muscle tissue burns calories by helping the body convert food calories into energy. Lean muscle is an active tissue that burns fats and increases metabolism. The benefits impact your shorterm and longterm health. Hope this helps you look at building muscle (hypertrophy) and these EMOMs with the rest periods in a bit of different light and helps you enjoy them even more.Gaining and maintaining lean muscle mass is the key to vitality and longevity. The recovery is where your body repairs your muscle and sends signals for them to grow a bit bigger this time around and with enough protein and energy add some lean muscle mass. Its also why we try and limit similar muscle groups being used back to back. So what do we at SchuBox Athletics to help you out? Well I know everyone likes to redline and go hard but when we slow it down and do our longer Volume EMOM’s (every minute on the minute) workouts we are trying to keep our heart rate a little lower and push volume to a certain muscle group to promote blood flow, produce time under tension, and muscle break down so our bodies are forced to make an adaption and repair/build muscle in recovery. I’m talking about muscle mass so if a 140# person can change their body composition to drop from say 24%to 18% of bodyfat, but stay at the same weight then at rest they would be burning an extra 50 calories a day just sitting on the couch (which I don’t condone but.) and I guarantee they would look a lot different. WHOA whoa whoa - PUT ON MASS?!? For those looking to lose weight stay with me a minute. Muscle at rest (meaning when you are binging on the new Netflix show)burns almost 3x as many calories as fat does and thats not including what it burns when repairing itself (like after a WOD) or energy expenditure (during activities)! Meaning if you can put on some more muscle mass the amount of food you can be indulging in can go up or stay the same and still change your body composition. ![]() I want to talk quickly though about the relation of muscle mass that plays on your metabolic rate and why we do some of what we do at SchuBox Athletics. Why is this an important number to know? It is your starting point to figure out how much food you should be eating if you have goals like putting on muscle mass, losing weight, changing body composition, or just trying to maintain your current weight. BMwhat? Your BMR or basal metabolic rate is essentially how much energy you need to consume to stay as you are currently.
