What causes weight gain when working out in the gym?

Many friends who want to keep in shape may choose to go to the gym to exercise, because there are various sports equipment available, and there are also coaches who can help friends how to exercise formally. However, many friends have gained weight after going to the gym for a while, so many people have doubts. So what is the reason? Let me talk about this issue in detail below.

A person's weight can also change throughout the day. Generally, the human body weighs the lightest in the morning, the heaviest at noon, and the weight at night is between noon and morning. If you ask about the range of a person's weight change in a day, it is generally around 1 to 2 kilograms. So going to the gym and gaining weight is purely scaring yourself.

Fitness and weight loss are not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires constant persistence and practice. As far as fitness and weight loss are concerned, if you want to see more obvious results, you need to persist for at least 6 weeks. This also depends on the frequency of exercise and the intensity of exercise.

However, for those who really stick to exercising to lose weight, don’t worry if you find yourself gaining weight. Generally speaking, if a person who is losing weight does strength training during the weight loss period, their weight will first increase and then decrease. Because strength training can improve the muscle mass of dieters and appropriately increase the muscles of practitioners.

Improving the body's muscle mass and appropriately increasing muscle mass are definitely beneficial for people who are trying to lose weight. Because it can not only improve the exercise ability of dieters and increase the intensity of future training, but also help them consume more calories.

Secondly, in terms of the volume ratio of muscle and fat, the volume ratio of muscle and fat of the same weight is at least 1:3. Therefore, increasing muscle will not only not make the dieter fatter, but it can shape the dieter's body and make the body more symmetrical.

In fact, it is not surprising that some friends gain weight after going to the gym to exercise, because sometimes they eat more after exercise. If the exercise intensity is not high and the energy consumed is less than what they eat, they will definitely gain weight. This is all normal. So friends who have this situation don’t need to worry too much about what the problem is.
