Lean muscle mass

What is lean muscle mass?

Lean muscle mass is an important component of health and fitness. In simple terms, lean muscle refers to the amount of muscle on your body without any excess body fat. Having more lean muscle provides many benefits:

• Increased metabolism - Muscle burns more calories than fat, even at rest. More muscle = higher metabolism = easier weight control.


• Strength - Muscle provides strength for daily activities and athletic performance. Lifting heavy things or playing sports requires muscle power.


• Injury prevention - Strong muscles protect joints and bones from injury. They stabilize your frame for better movement.


• Vitality - Muscle gives you energy, vitality and that “body confidence” from looking fit and toned. It’s a major component of that coveted “beach body”.

How Can You Build Lean Muscle?

There are a few key strategies for packing on lean muscle mass:

• Lift weights - Using challenging resistance like weights or bands stresses your muscles so they grow back bigger afterward. This stimulates new muscle protein synthesis.


• Eat enough protein - Protein provides amino acids that are the building blocks for repairing and building those new muscle cells. Shoot for 0.5-1 gram per pound of body weight daily.


• Progress overload - Slowly increase reps, sets, or amount of weight lifted over time to continually challenge yourself. Muscles need a reason to grow!
