Does building muscle burn fat?

ya it helps muscle weighs more than fat but it burns fat too

yah but dont freak out when you gain weight. muscle weighs more than fat

yeeeeeeeeeeessss let me explain this to you so you know about this in the future. muscle burns fat because. musle need energy and oxygen to survive they become your own personal fat burners, as you build muscle your fat cells begin to shirnk becasue the mucle ceells are growing hence burning the fat. 2) situps do burn stomach fat: try to do crunchs more they will burn more fat, though weight excerises should not be done everyday due to recovery situps/crunchs CAN be done everyday, this is becasue you are not bulindging any muscle you are just burning fat while working with the core. 3) no weights? no problem to build arm muscle and get rid of the flab just do pushups in sets of 10 to start so mabey 3x10 then put your feet on a chair and do another 3x10 pushups. the pushup in general works triceps,front shoulder,chest, and core(holds you up). next grab a chair and start to do dips on it this also builds the tricepts(arms 3/4 of your arm) for the legs: to burn some serious fat heres whta you do at home. sqauts, skipping,running on the sport, high knee running, running/joging,sprtinging, lunges and also good strechsing in the legs stomach? you dont build muscle you just burn fat in this area, leg raises,reverse crunchs, situps crunchs

Most information you will receive is inaccurate when it comes to losing fat. Don't get scammed by all of these people out there telling you to take x product and you will lose fat. It simply isn't the case. To answer your question, yes muscle absolutely helps you to burn fat. The more muscle you have the more energy is required to feed the muscles. This causes an increase in your metabolism which will aid in burning fat on your body. The problem is there is no way to spot reduce fat with the exception of liposuction. So if you want to burn fat on your arms you need to focus on your overall muscle mass. The two best methods for burning fat are interval training and weight training. Interval training is a high intensity form of cardio that burns a lot of calories in a short period of time. Another issue with burning fat, and this is a big one, is your diet. If you don't have a good diet you will have trouble burning off fat. Some simple tips to better your diet would be to cut out sugar, increase your fiber intake, eat 5-6 meals a day, and drink a glass of water just prior to meals to help fill you up. If you would like some more detailed information here are a few ehow articles that go more in depth on this.

yes building muscle does burn off fat but you need to do cardio as well only with a combination of the two can you burn off fat the cardio (running, walking, etc.) gets rid of the actual fat while building muscle makes it nice and firm and fit

you cant reduce fat in specific places- no spot reduction, but the more muscle you have, the more calories (fat) you burn at rest

You can't burn fat here and there like we would all love to but if you do cardio and a full body work out you will burn fat and tone your whole body. Try to find workouts that require the most muscles like dead lift, bench, power clean, incline press, and decline press. Dumb bells are awesome too. Look for a workout guide with pictures and steps so that you can execute the lift properly. Improper lifting can mean serious injury and wasting your time. The more muscle you have the more fat is burned because muscle requires energy to maintain. So what I'm trying to say is get your whole body in shape and you will achieve your goal in less time than if you focused on just you arms and legs. Hope this helps

Building muscle improves your metabolism. Fat does not become muscle, nor does muscle become fat. I suggest you do crunches, pull-ups, push-ups, dumb-bell curls, dumb-bell kick-outs, squats, leg-lifts and kick-ups, and jump rope. But more importantly, work in cardio. Running, biking, elliptical, whatever. 2 days cardio (45-60 minutes), 1 day calisthenics (45 minutes), then repeat, then take a day off.

you need to run to loose fat...doing situps will reduce it a certain amount but will make our ab's bigger and so more noticable seeming like you have less fat
