Working Out And Gaining Healthy Weight
Posted by admin on August 27, 2008
So, you have been running every other day on the treadmill, lifting weights, and eating right, only to find out that you still gained weight. Don’t panic, you have probably just gained healthy weight in the form of lean muscle. Bad weight is excess fat, while good healthy weight is lean muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat, so while you may have lost an inch around your middle, you may have still gained a pound.
The more lean muscle you have, the faster you burn fat, and the better you do in the long run. With more muscle mass you increase the amount of calories you burn while doing everyday activities. Your toned arms may weigh the same or a little more than flabby fatty arms, but they look so much better in a sleeveless shirt. Keep running on that treadmill and lifting those weights, and before you know it you will have less overall body fat and more healthy muscle. Not all weight gain is bad, if you are gaining muscle mass then you are on the right track!
