Muscle mass is a vital component in managing obesity effectively. It is closely linked to metabolism, as muscle tissue burns more calories at rest compared to fat tissue. Increasing or maintaining muscle mass through resistance training or strength exercises can help individuals with obesity improve body composition, enhance metabolic rate, and reduce fat. Moreover, muscle mass contributes to better physical functionality, mobility, and overall health. For individuals dealing with obesity, strength training not only aids in weight management but also promotes fat loss, helping them maintain a healthier weight long-term. Incorporating muscle-building exercises, along with a balanced diet, can improve the body’s ability to burn fat and combat the adverse effects of obesity-related health conditions, such as diabetes and hypertension.
