Muscle burns more calories at a rest than fat does. Therefore, by
doing strength training, you replace that fat with muscle. Your
body then has to work harder to maintain that muscle.
I said work out every other day for a reason. Your body can handle
cardio every day for the most part since it doesn't put a lot of
stress on it. However, it can't handle serious muscle building
every day. As you lift weights, you are doing a small amount of
damage to the muscles involved, that's why you're sore
afterwards. The way you build muscle is by doing that little bit of
damage and allowing your body to repair itself. As the body
repairs the muscles, it strengthens it so they are not damaged
again.
Lifting twenty pounds would damaged the muscles in the
beginning, but after a few workouts, twenty pounds won't do
anything. That's why you have to increase the weight. But if your
body doesn't get rest between each workout, it won't have the time
to repair all of the damage. So if you keep working out day after
day, those muscles are eventually going to sustain serious
damage. Then you will be worse off than you were when you
started.
Fitness isn't necessarily hard, but it does require a lot of effort. It's
also something you have to maintain. Once you've achieved your
goals, if you don't keep working out, your body will go right back
to where it was when you started. It is easier to maintain your
workout than to have to start at the beginning again!
