Building muscle and weight

A question was raised concerning one of my blog entries about the effect of muscle building through weight training on the weight seen on the scale. In fact, muscle does weigh more than fat, and when someone goes into a weight training mode, the absolute weight on the scale may not decrease as rapidly, but the person will most definitely notice a change in his/her body habitus. Additional benefits of weight training, especially for females, will be the slowing of bone thinning (osteopenia/osteoporosis).

Thanks for the question!!! Please keep them coming!!!!
