Resistance Training Can Preserve Muscle Mass

Skinny fat describes someone of normal body weight that either has too much body fat or too little muscle tone. Primary causes of appearing to be skinny fat include a lack of resistance training, too much cardio, or severe dietary restrictions. Too much, too quickly can produce lumpy looking results. Despite having reached a healthy weight, the less muscle you have the more likely you will have a flabby soft appearance. Moreover, you don’t have to worry about looking bulky after adding resistance training. Most adult men and women cannot add enough muscle to cause bulkiness. In addition, your strength training never needs to be intense. After all, you’re not a bodybuilder or a competitive lifter. Nonetheless, resistance training is the single most effective way to preserve muscle mass and avoid the unwanted appearance of being skinny fat.

Eliminate Skinny Fat Body Composition

Years of metabolic research has proven beyond a shadow of doubt that fat storage and fat burning operates according to the Law of Thermodynamics. Listed below are tips for boosting fat reduction, such as:

• Choose Better Beverages - Choosing the right beverages, such as green tea, coffee and ginger tea, may help boost metabolism, reduce hunger pangs, and increase overall satiety, all of which are beneficial to losing weight and burning stubborn fat deposits.
• Add Resistance Training - According to an article in Women’s Health, adding resistance training two days a week has been shown to increase lean muscle mass by one pound per month while decreasing fat by a pound per month. This is a healthy advantage seen in the mirror and not on the scale.
• Skip Condiments and Sauces - If you love the flavor of ketchup, a healthier option is to make your own ketchup and cut back on sodium and sugar. You can also create your own versions of Asian dips, barbeque sauces, fresh salsas, homemade pesto, and tangy mustard.
• Move More Every Day - Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) is an approach to calorie expenditure based on moving more by walking, fidgeting, tidying up your room, tapping your feet or de-weeding your flower beds. Surprisingly, NEAT burns nearly double the calories as exercising in the gym.
• Adopt Sustainable Solutions - Your new normal should include a little exercise, some fun physical activities, a commitment to a wholesome menu plan and some rest days dedicated to having fun. However, try to avoid indulgent meals and stick to your game plan.

For many people losing weight seems to outweigh being fit and healthy. However, not all fat gets stored under the skin, and because of the way different types of fat can be stored, skinny fat people risk having serious health problems with visceral fat deposits stored around vital organs, like the heart and liver.
