It might be what they actually need to get there.

so focusing on building some lean muscle can be a very very powerful thing because it can raise your resting metabolic rate without even trying you burn more calories when you're when you're actually working out it increases injury or decreases injury reduction it decreases immobility it increases longevity it makes you more metabolically thrifty there are so many benefits to having it that i think that we overlook and i think it's because we simply don't understand all the benefits that it brings

And so when we resistance train, a bunch of really beneficial things happen. We release proteins from our muscles called myokines that increase mood, cardiovascular health, brain health. They help with the aging process. When we resistance train, we release extracellular vesicles that cause a release of a genetic material called MIR1.

When MIR1 is in skeletal muscle tissue, it hinders muscle growth. However, when you exercise, when you resistance train, it releases it from that skeletal muscle. It unlocks your ability to build lean muscle. And then it does a really cool thing. It travels to adjacent adipose tissue, gets absorbed into the fat tissue itself, and increases lipolysis.

So not only are you allowing your body to build more muscle, you are burning more fat at the same time. And then, of course, skeletal muscle tissue is the largest metabolic tissue in the body. And it essentially acts as a metabolic sink. When we take in glucose, one of three things happens. We either use the glucose at that point to function as energy, which is great.

We store it in skeletal muscle tissue or we store it in adipose tissue. Having more muscle means it acts like a sponge and can soak up some excess blood glucose and store it into skeletal muscle where it can be used later for our benefit rather than into adipose tissue where we may not want it to go.

And so this is why you see these things where there's a lot of times you'll see a skinny fat person and they'll have issues with prediabetes or diabetes. And it's because they don't have the lean muscle levels necessary to protect them from that, to make them metabolically stable. Even one year of strength training confers benefits that last up to three years after cessation of training.
