LDC TRAINING

Muscle vs. Fat  We’ve all heard the saying that muscle is heavier than fat.  The fact of the matter is one pound of muscle is equal to one pound of fat.  The difference is in the composition of the two substances.  Lean muscle is woven together more tightly where fat is looser and takes up more room.  So, one cubic inch of muscle does indeed weigh more than one cubic inch of fat.   When we workout we don’t actually convert fat to muscle,  we build lean muscle mass and the fat remains unless we partake in a healthy fat-reduction diet.   A healthier overall body composition can be obtained if we combine resistance exercise with cardio and a healthy weight-loss menu as this will reduce our body fat and increase our lean muscle mass.
