Burning fat without losing muscle

[LauraJ]

Eating smaller meals every two to three hours keeps your metabolism revved and burning fat all day long. Engage in aerobic activities like swimming, cycling, stair climbing, jogging and walking help increase heart rate and your fat burning engine. Lift weights and perform resistance training exercises to increase lean muscle tissue. Strength training exercises burn calories, and as you build muscle, you'll increase your body's metabolism even at rest.
