RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

This graph shows how we look when we have less or more muscle combined less fat or more fat. The main points are:

1) Skinny/thin doesn't mean healthy or in-shape. It's possible to look thin, but still have a high body fat %. The goal should be to look lean & tone, not skinny & flabby.

2) The more LEAN muscle we have the quicker & more fit, lean, and tone we'll look. 1lb of muscle burns 50cal/day at rest, so 10lbs of LEAN muscle (not Schwarzenegger) will help burn an extra 500cal/day + what we burn during exercise = faster results.
