What is lean muscle mass?
Lean muscle mass is an important component of overall health and fitness. It refers to the weight of your muscles without any excess fat tissue. Having more lean muscle:
- Helps keep you strong and energized
- Boosts your metabolism so you burn more calories
- Supports healthy aging and reduces injury risk
Ways to build lean muscle include:
- Resistance training like lifting weights, using bands, or your own bodyweight. This is key for muscle growth.
- Getting enough protein in your diet from sources like chicken, fish, eggs and legumes. Aim for at least 0.5-1g of protein per pound of body weight.
- Consistency - muscle takes time to build, stick to an exercise routine and diet to see results!
