Hi Christine adair ! First -some questions.... 1 - has your weight and body-composition (body-fat % ) been the same the last few years? If not - what changes have you measured? If they've been the same - what are those numbers?2 - I don't want to say cut back on sets and reps for the exercises specific to those muscle group areas - BECAUSE - it may be more a matter of dropping some body-fat first.3 - How much and what type of cardio are you doing, consistently, on a weekly basis?

Excellent questions, Jemima Penfold !! :-) Thanks for posting...I'll copy and paste your Q's here to answer each:
QUESTION:
I have heard building muscles means you burn more calories even when resting and so you are able to eat more calories. Is this true?
ANSWER:
It is true we burn more calories in general, at rest, etc... when we develop more muscle density and/or size... However - it is only theory that we can "eat more calories".... some people can - and some people, not so much - the only way to know is to gain the muscle and see how your body responds to eating more... (mostly healthy choices of course :-)
