ADVISORY/Experts Available to Comment on Weight Training and Calories.Business Editors ADVISORY... --(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 13, 2001 TOPIC: A recent study found that women who combine aerobics with weight training burn more calories, both during and after exercise, than women who opt only for aerobics. According to the study, women who did aerobics burned, on average, an additional 50 calories during two latent hours after their workout while women who lifted weights in addition to aerobics burned up to an additional 155 calories in the same two hours. Lead researcher Carol A. Binzen of Johns Hopkins said that one of the reasons for the difference appears to be the fact that muscle burns fat, not carbohydrates, according to a story by USAToday. The study appears in this month's journal of the American College of Sports Medicine, the story said.
