Fitness Myth # 3 You can turn FAT to MUSCLE

by balancefts on January 11, 2010

Myth

You can turn fat to muscle!

Truth

Muscle and Fat are two different tissues. Do oil and water mix? No.  Neither do muscles and fat.  The reality is when you are inactive you are losing muscle, and gaining fat. So once you begin a work out routine the muscle begins to return, but the muscle is not replacing fat.  Muscle is more dense so it weighs more.

Also, once a fat cell is created it never goes away. It shrinks in size, but is never gone from your body. We are born with so many, then we get more in adolescence.

The best weight to lose fat and gain muscle is to do a combination of strength training and cardio!!  I recommend circuit training or interval training.
