Weight Loss Exercise
Weight loss exercise can be a bit of a misnomer. If you start walking on a treadmill and working out with weights, you could well gain weight. But you shouldn’t take that as a sign of failure. It’s really a sign of success, because it means you’re building up muscle, which weighs more than fat.
There are numerous Olympic level athletes who have a body mass index, or BMI that says they’re overweight. That’s one of the hazards of relying on numbers like BMI exclusively. While it can be informative, it cannot distinguish between pounds made of fat and pounds made of muscles.
Perhaps rather than worrying about what the scales say when you begin a weight loss exercise regimen, you should rely on things like how your clothing fits and how you start to look different. And you don’t have to worry about developing bulky masculine muscles. Women’s muscles stay quite feminine even with regular workout routines.
