Weight & Fat Loss | Weight gain


Hi - I started working out 2-3 days a week
3 months ago. When I started working out
I weighed 106 pounds. I'm 5"2. I now weigh 114
pounds. I have not increased my food intake.
Muscle is not heavy then fat according to your
website. Any ideas?

Let us clarify:

Muscle and fat weigh the same. Muscle is denser and takes up less space than fat. A pound of muscle and a pound of fat both weigh a pound.

Summary: if you have 4 pounds of fat and 4 pounds of muscle the muscle will take up MUCH less room. I think this should clairfy what we meant by that comment.

Thanks,

Personal Trainer

 Actually muscles weigh more then fat but im guessing your around 10 to 14 years old so your really around the perfect weight you shouldnt want to lose weight
