Facts Of Muscles
- Muscles cannot be converted into fat.
- Muscle size, efficiency, and density CAN be changed, if you stimulate it to push its limits further through training. This leads to increase in strength.
- Weight training exercises are the best techniques to control and keep check on the changes happening in your muscles. You can get various results through altering your sets, weights, and reps. Thus, you can choose to increase muscle strength without increasing bulk, or increase both.
- Your muscles return to normal, if you stop training. It may also stay as you built them, depending on your lifestyle.
- You can target each muscle, UNLIKE fat. This means you can choose the particular area where you wish to increase bulk. Say, you can work only on your abdominal muscles and get six pack abs! Or maybe you wish to build just biceps or triceps. It’s your choice!
The strength of your muscle is not directly related to your diet. No matter how nutritious a diet you take, you still will have a lean muscle structure, if you don’t train them. Each muscle of your body is made up of innumerable muscle fibers. It’s not possible to increase the number of muscle fibers, but is possible to increase the density, size, and efficiency of each fiber. Although they may alter at varying degrees, you will still feel the strength building up. Muscles are affected directly by the stress you expose them to. The stress can be in the form of weight training exercises, aerobics, daily chores, or other strenuous physical activity. And mind you, the stress should be more than what your muscles are accustomed to bearing everyday.
One thing you need to remember is that you won’t be able to flaunt your enhanced shape of muscles, if there is a thick layer of fat covering it. So, you need to fight that fat before you think of building any shape.
It’s time you stopped thinking that fat turns into muscle and vice versa. No such thing happens. It’s good to understand your body composition well before starting any workout, whether for losing weight or building muscle. Get body smart!
