Robert, would the same apply to jog/walking for cardios?

>>When you relate this to weight loss, the more muscle you have, the more  
you increase your basal metabolism, which will increase the calories you  
burn.  In addition, this changes the body's energy systems.  Not only will  
the sprinter's legs be heavier and more muscular, but the muscles will  
expect to output maximum power for brief durations, using stored  
carbohydrates as the primary fuel.  They don't need fat, so the body  
doesn't need to store it.  The muscles of the distance runner will be  
using fats as fuel, so the body will store some fat to meet this need, and  
will be stubborn to give up its last reserves.
