I'm not overweight or obese, actually barely in the "normal" zone for BMI so I don't need to worry about getting rid of fat yet but what if I want to lose weight from muscle? If i excersise, it may burn calories but I'll keep building muscle and put on more weight from the muscle. How do I lose the muscle weight without getting fat from not excersising? Is there a way to excersise without gaining muscle?

More cardio, more chicken, and more fish! Cardio will burn your fat and your muscle will start diminishing if you are not lifting weights. You can keep lifting weights, but go to really really light weights and maintain a high heart rate while you lift the light weights. You don't have to lift the weights until you are sore, just get a good routine that will keep you in shape and keep some muscle on your body so you can burn fat more efficiently. Do cardio 3 times a week and weight train with the light weights 2 times a week only. Make sure you do cardio for about an hour and even on the days you do weights, start with 25 minutes of cardio first. This will make sure your heart rate is at an anaerobic rate when you do the weightlifting. Cut back on red meat too. Chicken and fish are a leaner protein intake. Good luck!

That you can soak in a hot tub with warm water to take a look at to chill out the muscular tissues. Being a rower is tough. You must use particular muscle groups that you don't most of the time use. You must be taught to do warm up workout routines. Try to do more muscle toning exercises in order that your muscle groups will not be stretched too much. I did a dragon boat race where we only practiced as soon as a week and we had ache for awhile. As soon as your body will get used to it, your muscles will not suppose so much ache. The cramps might be nerves. You're fearful about how you're doing in the rowing or whether or not that you would be able to keep up with the opposite rowers. Just chill out and have fun.

You can soak in a sizzling bath with hot water to take a look at to chill out the muscular tissues. Being a rower is rough. You need to use special muscular tissues that you do not traditionally use. You need to study to do hot up sporting activities. Try to do extra muscle firming sporting activities in order that your muscular tissues would possibly not be stretched an excessive amount of. I did a dragon boat race in which we simplest practiced as soon as every week and we had affliction for awhile. Once your frame will get used to it, your muscular tissues would possibly not think such a lot affliction. The cramps might be nerves. You are frightened approximately how you're doing within the rowing or whether or not you'll be able to maintain up with the opposite rowers. Just chill out and feature a laugh.

If you are barely with in the "normal" zone, why in the world do you want to loose muscle weight?
Muscle weight is the best kind of weight. You don't need to loose it. You need to be Healthy!

well if you actually want to be healthy than don't step on a scale anymore. it's not about how thin you are or how little you weigh. muscle is good for you, it burns fat. if you want to lose fat you should start lifting weights to gain muscle. trust me it looks way better to be toned and sleek than it is to be skinny and flabby. muscle looks way better and you'll feel great too. don't worry about the scale.

yea though i dont reccommend it CARDIO or running will burn muscle. thats why pro body builders who dont want to lose muscle will only walk at 3.0 mph for 45 min - an hour to burn fat but not muscle. If you look at a marathon runner they are always skinny but in shape because when your run (above 5.0 mph) for longer that an hour you will burn muscle.

You should use less weight and more reps. This will shed body fat quicker and you wont gain muscle mass either. You should just stay toned.

as long as you don't eat a lot of protein you won't gain weight from muscle like that. you can't really lose muscle. or if you can it is probably not a good idea.

why would you want to in the first place. Seems counter productive to me. You can lose muscle mass by not working out, its called atrophy. You shouldnt ever try to loose your muscle mass because that is extreamly unhealthy.

When you're trying to lose weight you first lost muscle before fat.
