What is the best way to convert fat into muscle?

Answer 1

My ideas? Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.

On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.

The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!

Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.

Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.

Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!

Answer 2

Ok, this is a trick question isn't it? Tissue of any sort does not convert from one sort to another. You have to burn the fat off and build muscle, doing both at the same time is tricky but can be done. Lifting moderately heavy weights for sets of 8-12reps with little rest between sets is a good way to build muscle and get an aerobic workout at the same time. Should work.

Answer 3

You cannot convert fat into muscle. You can burn fat and build muscle.

If you are not worried about your weight I would cut the amount of fat in your diet and eat more lean meat like chicken and fish.
The lean meat will give you the protein necessary to build muscle

I would also do 45 min of aerobic exercise a 3 times a week and lift weights (heavy weight and few reps) three times a week. The aerobic workouts will burn fat. The lifting will build muscle and the more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn.

Answer 4

You will not convert fat into muscle. You will burn the fat, and once it is separated away from the muscle, you are going to build lean muscle mass from correct weight lifting techniques. Your muscles have 3 choices:

1. Become smaller, due to lack of exercise, protein and diet.
2. Get stronger, due to exercise, protein and diet.
3. Get bigger, due to weight training, increase of protein, diet and rest.

We convert fat into:

1. Energy by burning fat through cardio exercises; instead of our body's protein.

2. Loose fat that no longer is needed by the body through a combination of weight-lifting, cardio, and other exercises; but mostly through lower calorie intake v.s. daily calories burned.

Answer 5

Fat will never turn into muscle. You can increase muscle size and reduce the size of fat cells. Diet and exercise are the only ways to do this.

Answer 6

Well this is just a wild guess, but I would say exercise. Maybe add a little protein rich food like fish or chicken. Just a guess, though.

Answer 7

Lift weights...drink protein shakes.
