Putting muscle on
Hello,
Started to go gym back in April. Combined that with cardio to and ended up losing two stones in about 3 months.
In July I moved house and neglected the gym and cardio a bit and put a stone back on. Monday just gone I started to go back to the gym.
Doing alot of weights and some cardio there. But I am not looking to loose weight again now. I want to put muscle on. Thing is if I loose weight then I will end up putting it back on anyway when I gain muscle.
Is it possible to just turn my fat now into muscle?

Re: Putting muscle on
Lifting weights will still burn fat, just not as efficiently as a specific aerobic activity.

Re: Putting muscle on
But it will also build muscle?

Re: Putting muscle on
Yes as long as you combine it with a high-protein diet. Use a high-weight and low-rep routine too. Also avoid the scales - they can't tell the different between fat and muscle. A body-fat reader is a better option.

Re: Putting muscle on
An ice bath after a 'legs' day is helpful. When I had shin splints in the summer and couldn't run I did a boot camp where they focused heavily on legs. I could barely walk out of the place. I came home, ran a cold-water bath, got in (which took about 5 minutes) then added 2 bags of ice. After 15 minutes I got out and my legs were fine, I had no aches at all.
