Muscle weighs more than fat!

If you find the scales number increasing and you are working out hard and find yourself slightly dissapointed with yourself then DONT BE!

because whether you have added a pound or 2 extra during your diet or training dont be discouraged as we know muscle weighs more than fat..
And a way of finding out (which I am going to start to do)
is by measuring yourself weekly as well as weighing yourself because the number on the scale could be getting bigger, whilst your waist and ass is getting smaller so dont always put yourself down...
Here is what you can do...

 

Waist (at navel)

Hips (at largest point)

Chest (at largest point)

Biceps (at middle)

Thigh (for women) or neck (for men) (at middle of muscle)

In general, when you are gaining muscle and losing fat, you should see:

• waist getting smaller
• neck/chest/bicep getting larger (might shrink first while you are getting rid of excess fat)

The biggest indicator will be where you collect the most fat. Men tend to collect in their abdomen while women tend to collect in their hips and thighs. That varies based on body type and genetic factors. Botttom line is that you know where that area is.
