SKINNY MYTH:  “Exercise turns fat into muscle.”

Myth.

Fat and muscle are two totally different kinds of tissue and cannot be converted into one another. Nothing turns fat into muscle, just like nothing turns teeth into toenails. 

You can, however, burn calories when you increase your metabolism through aerobic exercise and build up muscles with strength training..
