RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

There is no better "fat burner" than taking a WHEY ISOLATE PROTEIN (Ex: ISOPURE Zero Carb by Nature's Best) after both cardio & weight training. With exercise, especially weights, you break down muscle tissue. To regenerate more lean muscle fibers you need to consume a whey isolate protein immediately after (no more than 30mins after!).

The more lean muscle tissue you have the more calories you will burn all day long on top of what you burn during exercise. To give you a better idea, 1lb of muscle burns 50cal at rest, so if you put on 10lbs of LEAN muscle (NOT mass ladies) your muscles will burn an extra 500cal a day! To lose body fat/get lean & tone you need to turn your body into a calorie burning machine. It's all about calories consumed vs calories burned each day.
