    circuit training with weight and plyometrics is probably your best bet...

    Jumping rope. Far and away the most efficient to burn calories.

    I built some pretty huge calf muscles walking. I could flex my calves and see the muscle under my knee pop out for the first time in my life - though my weight stayed pretty much the same and the inches around my calves didn't change. You build muscle by increasing tolerance, right? So if I increase from being able to use my muscles for 2 miles before getting tired, to 4 miles, to 6 miles, what's happening to those muscles? They don't hurt as much, isn't that getting stronger?

    I'd just like one of these "experts" to let me know what those huge things in my calves are if they're not muscle I've built from walking miles daily when it was my only real exercise... I'd also like to know what those things in my husband's arms are that have gotten bigger while he's been shoveling at work. He's actually doing the opposite of lifting. So it can't possibly be muscle building, right?

    LOL oh give them time to think of a way to debunk this..they will be wanting you to bottle your dna too. Just cuz they have to lift to build muscle..maybe it makes them feel insecure knowing some of us don't have to.

    Yes, I feel very insecure, which is why I have my actual picture up.

    It's called you lost fat so the muscle shows.. not that you actually built muscle.

    Also just because you got used to an exercise, just means that you got more fit.. not that you built muscle or necessarily got stronger in any sense. You can get fit/stronger, without actually building new muscle tissue.

    I suggest you and the other chick think about the phrase, correlation does not equal causation.. it will really help out your arguments.

    To OP:
    There really is no efficient exercise.

    Whats efficient for me, won't necessarily be for you since everyone is at different fitness levels.

    Nope.. I can be sure of that the rest of my post is correct too.

    I can also be sure, that you are entirely looney tunes and have no idea how muscle building actually works... because if you did, you wouldn't be claiming what you are and you'd have pictures as proof.

    If everyone one is so incorrect, then where the hell is your proof?

    If you are right and everyone else is wrong, then prove it.. but since you haven't done anything of the kind, I'll keep going with what I know to be fact while you live in la la land.

    Also that article that you posted, states that walking tones muscles(IE makes them stronger/retains what muscle mass you have) and not builds muscle(IE builds new muscle tissue). Again, two different things.. I highly suggest you learn the difference.
