You've likely heard the term "lean muscle mass" at the gym or on your fitness tracker. But what exactly is it, and why is it so important?
Lean muscle mass is the muscle tissue in your body that isn't filled with fat. It's what makes you strong, helps you burn calories even at rest, and gives you that toned, sculpted look.
Think of it this way: Imagine a perfectly ripe watermelon. The juicy, red flesh is like your lean muscle mass. The seeds are like your fat. You want lots of juicy flesh and as few seeds as possible!
So, how do you build lean muscle mass? You know the drill: strength training! Lifting weights, doing bodyweight exercises, and even some high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can all help build those muscles.
