• You head to the gym because you know that
  exercise burns calories and helps you to shed
  extra pounds.
• Knowing this, you may think that losing weight
  should be easy with enough exercise. However the
  truth is that if you arent accustomed to
  exercising and are out of shape, beginning an
  exercise program may actually lead to an initial
  weight gain.

4

• This fact, however, shouldnt stop you from
  exercising, as youll eventually turn the weight
  corner and start losing.
• What is it about exercise that may cause some
  people to gain instead of lose weight?

• Muscle One of the main reasons exercising can
  lead to initial weight gain is that it promotes
  the growth of muscle.
• If you are not used to working out and havent
  used certain muscles regularly, after exercising
  your muscles will be sore and will increase in
  size. While you may burn off fat, muscle is
  denser than fat. Therefore, the weight you gain
  is in your muscles.

7

• Dont sweat it. Since muscles take up less space
  than fat, your extra weight doesnt necessarily
  translate to larger size. In fact, once you start
  working out, youll become thinner, even if you
  maintain your previous weight. Instead of using a
  scale to determine if you are slimming down, have
  your body fat tested regularly or measure your
  body at certain areas.

8

• If you see that youre losing inches, then you
  know youre on the right track.
• Cardiovascular activities like walking, running,
  or swimming will encourage the growth of lean,
  toned muscles. Other activities such as weight
  lifting promote the growth of larger, stronger
  muscles.

9

• But there is good news in this. If you stick with
  the exercise program, your muscles will soon
  stabilize in size and after a time, become toned.
  After your muscles are strong and able to handle
  more strenuous workouts, you will be able to burn
  calories faster.

10

• While it may be frustrating and disappointing to
  see the scale go up after starting an exercise
  routine, it shouldnt stop you from exercising.
  You may just be building muscle faster than
  losing body fat. This can be especially true if
  youre genetically prone to building muscle fast.
  The key is to incorporate bouts of cardio
  exercise in addition to strength training. That
  way you will burn plenty of calories during your
  routine and be more able to shed pounds.

11

• Eating Habits When you work out and burn
  calories, your body will feel the need to replace
  those burned calories.
• This may make you feel hungrier than usual, which
  can cause you to eat more than normalsometimes
  without knowing it. A good idea is to keep a food
  journal to track of the actual number of calories
  you are consuming.

12

• You may also end up eating more calories and
  justifying their consumption since youre
  exercising. After a good workout, you may see an
  ice cream sundae as a reward for the calories you
  burned. Just be careful. If youre interested in
  losing pounds, you cant simply break even with
  your caloric intake and the amount of calories
  you burn.

13

• At the same time, eating too few calories can be
  counterproductive and slow your weight loss.
  Without enough calories, your body may slow its
  metabolism. So eat plenty to keep your body well
  fueled, but choose healthy calories that will
  help your body recover after a workout and grow
  stronger.

14

• Hydration Depending on the time of day you weigh
  yourself, the scale may read differently. Your
  weight can fluctuate as much as five pounds
  depending on the amount of water or food you have
  recently consumed or the amount of water you have
  shed in sweat. It is therefore important to weigh
  yourself at the same time each day.
