How to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time.

Get toned" is one of the most common goals personal trainers (including yours truly) hear clients and prospective clients say they're after. Whether they realize it or not, these people are referring to body recomposition, the act of altering your physique by burning fat and gaining muscle at the same time. These people know what they want -- less fat and more muscle -- but they often don't know what it takes to get there. 

Body recomposition requires a different approach to health and fitnessthan the typical weight-loss mindset.Body recomposition isn't about weight loss; it's about fat loss. On a body recomposition plan, you may maintain your current weight or even gain weight -- remember hearing "muscle weighs more than fat"? This is semi-true. Muscle is denser than fat. 

During body recomposition, what changes, instead of weight, is your physique. As you progress through body recomposition, you may notice changes in your body, such as an overall firmer look or that your clothes fit differently.
