Why can working out cause you to gain weight instead of lose it?

Muscle is gained from exercise. Muscle is denser than fat. Hence, working out will result in people getting heavier if done properly. In reality, people gain weight because they are eating more due to the metabolism boost they get from working out, which causes them to be hungrier. This usually happens in people who are inexperienced in dieting and exercise. This type of weight gain is far more common than gaining weight due to muscle mass increases. It is true, though, that people who are experienced in weight training and who diet properly will gain weight due to muscle mass increases. It is important to check your body fat percentages to find out if you are truly making progress with your exercise and dieting.

Is It Possible to Lose Weight on a Cardio Free Diet?

If you hate exercise, a cardio free diet may sound like the perfect weight loss plan. Unfortunately, these diets still require exercise. Instead of cardio, dieters will begin weight training. Strength training increases lean muscle mass, strengthens the body, and increases the metabolism. Cardiovascular exercise is not the key to weight loss. The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you take in. Swapping your cardiovascular workout with weight training will help you lose weight as long as you continue to limit your calories.

Does the amount of exercise affect the weight of the horse?

Yes the amount of exercise will affect a horses weight. If the horse is overweight it will slowly lose weight through exercise, just like humans. If the horse is a good weight and is being fed correctly then instead of weight lose you'll get muscle gain and the horse may go up in weight as muscle is heavier than fat.


Does exercise increase muscle?

Exercising increases muscle sizes by exerting pressure on these muscles (but not too much mind). As a response the muscle tenses to allow the increase of weight being lifted (relating to the arms) for example to allow the body to develop as an adaptation tool used by our earlier ancestors to survive.


What types of exercises are there?

Isotonic and Isometric exercise are the two types of the exercises. In Isotonic exercise you do not use the load or weight. You can use the antagonist muscle contractions in Isotonic muscle exercises. In isometric exercises you use the weight or load to develop the muscles. You know the term, metric tone. So in Isometric exercise you lift the weight.


When i don't do exercise i lose weight when i do i gain kilos why?

Weight loss is A LOT more about diet than exercise. The most probable reason is that when you exercise you get hungrier and eat more than you should. Possible, but less probable, is that exercise does promote muscle growth. If you're actually skinny to start with, then exercise can build enough muscle to cause a noticeable weight gain. This is why it's not that smart to look at weight alone. One should try to back it up with checking your size(if your waist is shrinking but your thighs are growing you're most probably losing fat and gaining muscle), or fat/muscle ratio.
