In this episode of the Shropshire Strong Quick Cast, we dive into why building muscle is the most underrated and effective way to boost your metabolism and burn fat long term. If you’ve been stuck doing cardio, cutting calories, or chasing the scale with no results, this one’s for you.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why lean muscle mass increases your resting calorie burn

• The difference between cardio and strength training for fat loss

• How strength training helps with energy, cravings, and hormone balance

• Why the scale often lies and what real progress looks like

• How to start building muscle, even if you’re a complete beginner

Real-Life Example:

Hear how busy Shrewsbury locals at CrossFit Shropshire started seeing better results with just two strength sessions per week, and no crazy diets or training marathons.
