Lifting increases your “afterburn”
When you lift, your body has to repair muscle fibres afterwards.
Repair = energy.
Energy = calories burned.
This is called EPOC (excess post‑exercise oxygen consumption)
It keeps your metabolism elevated for up to 24–48 hours after a session.
So even when you’re sat on the sofa with a glass of w**e, you’re still burning more. Just sayinnnnnn!!
