Recently a client asked me to explain why I want her to build muscle to burn fat and focus on shape rather than to try and lose weight by doing cardio and restricting calories. I explained to her that depending on your body type, if you can build enough muscle you can burn fat by just moving around. On the contrary, if you don’t have a good base of muscle and you only do cardio or restrict calories you will have to work long and hard to burn fat. Long story short: Muscle movements take energy, more energy output means less stored energy, less stored energy means less fat in the body, less fat means leaner shape. Fat and muscle do not weigh differently as 1kg is 1kg but🧐 they do look very different so adding muscle weight and in turn losing fat weight will give you much better shape change even if the scales don’t go down as low as you expect 💪🏽 #nickysworkouts #fascialstretchtherapy #prehab #rehab #realworkouts4realpeople #fitmoms #40andfit #fitnessmotivation #fitafter40 #realwokouts4everyone #pilatesmat #pilates #strongnotskinny #pilatesstrong #personaltrainer #groupfitness #stretchy #healthandfitness #beginnerworkout #stretching #P.T #mindbodyconnection #homeworkout #trainathome #homestretch #exercise #healthylifestyles #homeexercises #musclebuilding #womenwholift
