7. UNDERSTANDING MUSCLE IN BODY WEIGHT
WHAT IS BODY WEIGHT?
• Your body weight comprises of fat and muscle, organs,
connective tissue, bones, fluids and gastrointestinal
contents all factor into your weight on the scale.
• Weight changes, seen on those dreaded weighing

scale, can be attributed to any one or a combination of
these elements, and the changes can be long-term or
temporary.

8. HOW MUSCLES HELP
BENEFITS OF STRENGTH TRAINING
• Fat is inactive tissue, but muscles require a great deal
of energy to maintain.
• When you lose weight through dieting alone, your body
prefers to cannibalize greedy muscle cells to preserve
Copyright Talwalkars Better Value Fitness Ltd.
the efficient fat stores.
• This is an inbuilt defence mechanism to save you in
case of starvation.

9. But in starvation mode your body clings on to body fat
instead of burning it

10. When this happens you lose muscle mass
and gain body fat.

Cycles of dieting like this can actually make you
look fatter!

11. MUSCLE
• Muscle is metabolically active requiring a great deal of
energy for repair and maintenance.
• Think of it like a factory that never closes. Its open all
the time and there is a great deal of production and
Copyright Talwalkars Better Value Fitness Ltd.
work on all the time.
• More muscle = More work = More calories spent.

12. AFTERBURN
More muscle creates tremendous afterburn that forces the
body to burn calories at an accelerated rate even after the
cessation of the workout through out the day while the
body repairs the micro trauma caused by weight training.

You burn calories even when sleeping!
That has got to be the best part! Everyone wants to burn
calories when sleeping!

13. AFTERBURN
• Cardiovascular activities concentrate only on the
amount of calories burnt during exercise & have little
impact on calorie burning through the day.
• The afterburn here may extend for two hours at most.

This is true even if you spend hours running on
the treadmill.

What about my curves and my body shape?

15. THINK OF THE DIFFERENCE - BODY FAT &
MUSCLE THIS WAY
• Body fat is like cotton that occupies a lot of space and
had no defined shape.
• Muscle is like an iron block occupies less space and is
more compact.

• That is why fat loss and muscle gain and can make you
look thinner whereas weight loss may not necessarily do
the same thing.

16. SAME BUT DIFFERENT
• Body weight does not differentiate between muscle
weight and fat weight.
• You could weigh less but have a high fat percentage and
Copyright Talwalkars Better Value Fitness Ltd.
because that fat is like cotton with no shape it makes you
look like you have no shape!

17. HOW TO LOOK DEFINED?
• Muscle always has a beautiful and defined shape.
• The more muscle you have the more beautiful and
defined your body will look.
• You will never end up looking out of shape or lose your
Copyright Talwalkars Better Value Fitness Ltd.
curves or look like a body builder!
• You will simply look lean and fit!

18. DONT RELY ON THE SCALE
BAN THE WEIGHTING SCALE
If you focus on the weighing scale it can become
your worst enemy by misleading you and killing
your motivation.

19. WHY BODY WEIGHT IS UNRELIABLE
PROBLEMS WITH WEIGHT LOSS.
• Unreliable: Your body-weight can fluctuate daily since
it's influenced by your stomach / bowel / bladder
content, water loss / retention, muscle loss / gain, fat
loss / gain, you'll have no idea what's going on.

• Irrelevant: Two people with similar height can weigh
the same, but look completely different because one
has lower body fat than the other.

20. HOW TO DO THIS
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
• Stop looking at the weighting scale.
• Get regular body fat assessments.
• Take measurements instead of weight.
• Re - evaluate optimum weight over time.
Copyright Talwalkars Better Value Fitness Ltd.
• Guard against lean mass loss during weight loss with
an adequate protein intake.
• Incorporate regular aerobic and resistance exercise.
• Incorporate healthy eating habits.

21. DONT BE AFRAID OF MUSCLE
• To maintain your muscles and their calorie-burning
potential, do strength training such as lifting weights.
• Make sure that protein makes up 20% to 35 % of your
Copyright Talwalkars Better Value Fitness Ltd.
daily calories to aid and maintain the muscles.

22. TARGET GOAL
Primary Target is Losing Body Fat (Ideal Body
Composition) Not Body Weight
