Powerful demonstration of what 5 pounds of both muscle and fat look like. This should make it much more clear that losing 5 pounds of fat will make you much smaller than adding 5 pounds of muscle will make you large. Many women are afraid of adding muscle because they don’t want big bulky bodies. The only thing making bodies big and bulky is excess fat, as shown above. Don’t be afraid to add muscle to your frame. In addition to it creating a lean, healthy appearance, it will help increase your metabolism which in turn will burn more calories while you are at rest.

Co-Founder at Share It Fitness
Matt has been involved in the fitness industry for over 10 years and has worked with, and helped countless individuals improve their lives. After college, Matt started his fitness career working in the trenches as a personal trainer for a big corporate gym. It was here he saw how impersonal Big Fitness really was. Clients weren't people, they were just sales waiting to be made. After branching out and starting his own personal training business in San Diego, Matt soon developed the idea of Share It Fitness and started our (now highly successful) blog. A fitness junkie himself, Matt knows the importance of incorporating exercise into your life. When he isn't working at Share It Fitness, you can find Matt running, biking, taking yoga, or pumping iron around San Diego.
