You have the right idea: proper strength training is important because it increases the amount of muscle you have, and muscle is your metabolic furnace that will burn additional calories 24 hours a day. For example, if you add ten pounds of muscle in the next year, your body might consume/burn an additional 350 to 500 calories daily.
