If you would like to view a hard copy of the budget, it is available at the City Administration Office and the Radford Public Library. F.Y. 2018 Budget The City of Radford has updated the Adopt-A-Spot Program.
Remember that there are 2500 calories in a pound of muscle and 3500 calories in a pound of fat. For a client to gain one pound of muscle per week, you need to make sure that every seven days they have consumed 2500 calories (average of 350 calories per day) more than they expended.
Exercise requires energy, and this energy is measured using Calories (or more accurately, kilocalories). Considering 1 pound of fat is the equivalent of 3,500 Calories-you can see that it takes a lot of exercise to burn fat. In addition to this, the source for energy may come from either fat or muscle glycogen. As the body adapts to each exercise, it becomes more efficient in its use of Calories-therefore burning less! The amount of muscle also has an impact on Calories burned.
