If a girl works out with weights instead of aerobic exercise will she get faster results and turn body fat into muscle?
It is best for everyone to do weights and cardio work outs. Aerobics are cardio, that will help the heart and to burn fat. Weights will help with muscle grownth and strength. you cant turn fat into muscle but you can loose fat and gain muscle. you will burn more callories outside of the gym with more muscle mass and you should use both weights and weight training together to get great bennifits. weights are great for the bones, muscles and look of your body, Cardio is great for your heart, lung efficiency and metabolism. you could end your weight workout with 30 minutes on some aerobic activity, or do weights one day and cardio the next. YOU CAN NOT TURN BODY FAT INTO MUSCLE! THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF TISSUE!!! the trick is... build muscle and do cardio.... when u build muscle, the muscle needs more calories, therefor, when your doing cardio, your burning more calories. so when ur building muscle, ur metabolism is much higher. but do not ONLY do muscle work, if u do, u will just have muscle under the fat.... combine it with cardio! and of course eat healthy...:)

How do you get bigger in muscle and fat?
If you want more muscle AND more fat, simply lift weights often (I suggest looking up a good body building plany) and eat. LOTS! However, for health reasons you should definitly add in cardio On the other hand, if you want to add more muscle and maintain fat the same, than weights and a controlled calorie surplus (about 500 calories over YOUR daily measure) will allow you to do this. That said losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time is difficult and many bodybuilders split these into two phases (cutting and bulking).

Can you tone fat?
You can't tone fat, but you can tone muscle. This will lead to the burning of fat. Try to hit the gym and use the weights and mix in some cardio. Your muscles will become defined and the fat will melt away. Yes, if there's muscle under the fat it makes it more solid. But softer fat is preferable.
