Resting Metabolism Rate and Basal Metabolic Rate
Why know your (RMR) Resting Metabolism Rate? and (BMR) Basal Metabolic Rate? It's just a bunch of numbers and it's too scientific.
Well, exercising is a science as well as an art. The more you know about how YOUR BODY works on the inside, the more you can change the outside to your likings.
RMR is the number of calories expended per unit time while your body is at rest. The higher your RMR, the more calories you burn in a day.
BMR is the minimum energy needed by your body to perform its normal functions. It takes energy (calories) to maintain your breathing, circulation and body temperature.
RMR and BMR are similar and yield extremely similar results. For our intents and purposes, both are estimates of how many calories your body needs if you choose to do nothing all day long but breathe. The calories are needed as energy to pump and circulate your blood, keep your heart beating and maintain your body temperature.
This result is a starting point in figuring out how many calories you need per day.
