Building muscle is the key to increasing your metabolism, burning fat, and changing your figure so why the:\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
>> hyper focus on the scale\u2063\u2063
>> slash and burn on your calories\u2063\u2063
>> cardio and no weights\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
Look, you might (read: can) lose weight without resistance training but what’s the point if you’re still not feelin’ yourself? You thought that weight loss would deliver the strong, curvy physique but it didn\u2019t – you’re tired, hangry AND flat.\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
When you lose scale weight it can be from water, muscle or fat. If you’re slashing your calories and ONLY focusing on the scale, that “weight” you’re losing is likely some water weight first and then muscle mass the longer you keep your calories low. \u2063
\u2063
Oh and bonus – your metabolism is now in a worse place because the less muscle you\u2019ve got the lower your metabolic rate. \u2063\u2063
\u2063
So then, when you start to increase your calories because you simpley *can\u2019t* eat so little any more (inevitable) you\u2019ll gain what you lost, and then some. It\u2019s a truly dismal cycle. \u2063
\u2063\u2063
In order to get that lean, toned and fit physique, you\u2019ll want that “weight loss\u201d to come from body fat which means you should do eVeRyThInG we can to maintain (and build) lean muscle mass.\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
Enter: resistance\/strength training. Resistance and strength training help you maintain the muscle mass you have, and if you’re eating enough and following great programming, you’ll also build more lean muscle. You know that “toned” look you’re chasing, it\u2019s muscles, bb. \u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
If you have goals to look lean, toned or fit, it\u2019s time to shift your mindset from cardio to strength \ud83d\udcaa \u2063\u2063<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
