    Research can prove anything. I know of dozens of studies that can prove it too .

    Statistics are wrong too. 58% of people know that.
    Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

    The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

    i've always thought that it wasn't the act of lifting weights that kept you burning calories but it was increased muscle mass that upped your metabolism since muscle is active tissue.

    lifting weights leads to increased muscle which leads to increased metabolism. (more calories being burned even when you're "at rest")

    I'd like to see the study. They said "small study". If the sample size was small, you really can't make a generalization...that is the first rule of medicine. I agree, what were they lifting? What age group. How intense were the excercise. How did they measure their metabolism...etc. etc.
