Best Answer

Muscle is gained from exercise. Muscle is denser than fat. Hence, working out will result in people getting heavier if done properly.

In reality, people gain weight because they are eating more due to the metabolism boost they get from working out, which causes them to be hungrier. This usually happens in people who are inexperienced in dieting and exercise. This type of weight gain is far more common than gaining weight due to muscle mass increases. It is true, though, that people who are experienced in weight training and who diet properly will gain weight due to muscle mass increases. It is important to check your body fat percentages to find out if you are truly making progress with your exercise and dieting.

Muscle tissue is more dense than fat tissue. That is it weighs more per unit volume.

Working out creates muscle and burns fat, though not in an equal amount.
