This is one exercise myth that makes us all wary. But no matter how much you might want your fat to turn into muscle, it ain't ever gonna happen!

Fat and muscle are made up of completely different cells that can never, ever turn into one another.

For example, Chubby McChubster works out with weights to build muscle and does cardio and eats well to lose fat. In no way shape or form does his extra belly jiggle turn into muscle. The weight lifting has transformed the muscle he has into lean muscle mass while the cardio and healthy diet have helped him burn off fat.

And in a vice versa situation, if Chubby stops working out and starts pounding McDonald's every day again the fat from his foods will infiltrate his bod and begin to build again. The muscle will decrease from the lack of lifting, not because it has turned into the fat he now sees again.

Hope that makes sense! Bottomline is: Muscle will never turn into fat! Ever!
