Getting into shape shouldn’t just be about the numbers on the scale. Muscle weighs more than fat, so the scale may be going up but the benefits are too good to ignore. Here is why muscle mass is the secret to optimal health and looking lean and defined.
Muscles burn more calories when doing nothing at all, so the more muscle you have the more calories your burning even while you sleep.
Building muscles will help fortify your bones, ligaments and tendons which is a great advantage because as we age we lose bone density and our joints and ligaments lose flexibility.
Muscles give your body shape, tone , definition and that “fit” look. Build muscles, lose fat and you will feel sexy. Bottom line, muscle is sexier then fat!
Muscles help your posture. When we have strong muscles we don’t slouch, we don’t sag ; instead, we stand high and proud because the muscles help keep us upright.
Muscles make everyday tasks easier and build stamina so repetive tasks like bending, lifting and stretching dont lead to fatigue.
