Weights and Weight Loss .....What?

The clever ones* are beginning to understand how lifting weights can help with weight loss.  During my training and over the decades, it was always said how aerobic exercise burns fat. 

Now, we understand the way the cells talk to each other. Specifically how a muscle cell communicates to a fat cell.  

I've been reading the New York Times, again. In Gretchen Reynolds's article 22nd July:- "Lifting weight? Your fat cells would like to have a word", she says that the inner working of the cells are changed when we lift weights which sends messengers that shrink fat cells.

Here is a quote

"In recent experiments, weights workouts goosed energy expenditure and fat burning for at least 24 hours afterward.  .......In another study, (that she covered) people who occasionally lifted weights were far less likely to become obese than those who never lifted." 7th July, 2021

So what is there for us to do?.  

In this miserable cold weather, don't go outside for a walk, but rather pick up the dumbbells, do those squats. 

I've just had a brainwave.  Why not join a class. You will feel great and your cells will talk to one another.
