When we begin a new fitness program or when we increase the intensity of our workouts, we lose fat but we also gain muscle mass. These changes can lead to a weight loss plateau, which is always a frustrating experience. If this happens, you need to remind yourself that, even though you’re not losing weight, you’re still losing body fat and gaining muscle. Muscles burn more calories than fat, even at rest, so you’re also boosting your resting metabolic rate and improving your fitness level. Next time you need to measure your fitness progress by seeing a change in numbers, check up on your body fat instead of the scale!
