Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
it depends what kind of work out you do, if you do the football stuff such as bench press, squats, or heavy lifting then you will gain weight, but it will be muscle. If you run and do endurance training such as smaller weights and do excersices with them, then you will get in better shape. If you want to know any good work outs to get in good shape including speed, muscle building, and endurance than comment me SuLaxStryke

It depends. If you gain muscle, you would have to lift weights and go on the machines that tone your muscles. To lose weight, you would do cardio, such as running, the treadmill, EFX machines, jumping rope, and things like that.
Just do a little bit of weight training by lifting 5 or 8 pound weights (make sure you know how to do this right, and if 8 lb. is too heavy, try 5 lb.). You can do the machines, too. But do some cardio as well, since that's what makes you lose weight.
REMEMBER, muscle weighs more than fat, so if you gain muscle and lose fat, the results might not show up on the scale. What I mean is that your weight could increase or stay the same if you do both. Just letting you know. :-)
I hope I helped, and if you have any more questions, feel free to leave one in my inbox!

A good way to burn fat is by running on the tread mill. I have one at home and sometimes i run on it.it really helps.

you will lose weight especially if you do cardio. Also, if you do some weights, several reps of light ones like 5 or 8 lbs (3-5 times of 10-12 each) you will get toned and muscle burns fat. Don't worry you won't look like a body builder. Think about it, every actress and model goes to the gym, you dont see them looking too too buff normally, right?

It depends on how you work out. If you're working out to tone your body, you'll lose some weight and look fitter. If you're working out to gain muscle, you will gain weight because muscle weighs more than fat. Ask at the gym to speak with a fitness trainer. Many gyms have them and they will be able to better determine the exercises that will give the look you want.

Hi There,
Different authorities have differing opinions on what makes someone 'fit'. The bottom line is this: if you're physically fit, you can do your chosen form of exercise without ending up completely exhausted. To do this you need: strength, endurance, speed, flexibility, and so on (see our glossary at the bottom for more details). To be good at a particular sport (also called motor fitness), you might also need quick reaction times, agility, balance, co-ordination, and power.
If you've decided to get fit, don't keep putting it off: procrastination is deadly. Then again, a little thought is needed first, rather than going at it hell for leather. People who go straight in without any knowledge or the right gear can earn some serious chafing and blisters, making them more likely to give up.
Most trainers suggest that you should start gradually and build up from there. If you're completely unfit or have had any illness or ongoing health problem, consult your doctor before starting an exercise regime. Exercise can improve many health conditions, but check first, in case you have something that needs temporary rest. Make sure you're wearing the right clothing and have the correct safety equipment if required.
Pick a form of exercise that you can do frequently and will enjoy. You can also mix up the types of exercise that you do, for all round body conditioning. Remember that getting fit can take several weeks or months. It's easy to get frustrated or give up, but hang in there. You should see some obvious results within six to eight weeks.
get your body used to frequent moderate levels of activity for the first four to six weeks. Your exercise should include stretching and a warm up, continuous aerobic activity, some toning exercises, and a warm down afterwards. To see benefits you need to do enough to increase your heart rate (to between 60 and 70% of its maximum) and make you breathe deeper.
increase your levels of activity slightly every couple of weeks. Your body is adapting to the exercise, so you need to push it slightly harder to keep getting results. Increase the length of your exercise sessions, or the intensity of them.
after about six months, the average person has reached a level of fitness that they're happy with, and decides to stick with their current level of exercise to maintain their fitness. If you're training for sport or competitions, you will probably need to push yourself for longer.
Agility: being able to go through a series of fast and powerful movements.
Balance: being able to control the position of the body either when moving or when still.
Cardio-respiratory endurance: how effective your heart and lungs are at getting oxygen and fuel around the body for movement, and how well your body uses them.
being able to integrate agility and balance, to move effectively.
the range of movements that you have in your joints.
how well your muscle fibres can repeatedly do the same actions without tiring. Sometimes called stamina.
your ability to make fast and controlled muscular contractions, in an explosive burst.
your ability to move a set distance in a certain time.
the maximum force that your muscles can produce by contracting against resistance. Someone who is very strong may appear fit, but could have very little stamina or flexibility.
Goodluck

You do both. If you want to tone muscles you have to use lighter weights with more repitions. If you want to gain muscle, just do the oposite.

Well, not that your other two answers aren't right in their own way.. but it has to do with how much weight you are lifting and how many repetitions. If you do high weight and less repititions you gain muscle. If you lift low weight (like 10 lbs) for several sets of repitions you tone- losing fat.
But, if you weigh yourself, you will gain weight. But muscle weighs 1.5 times as much as fat. So don't look at the scale.

When you first go to the gym, you lose weight, but after you lose the initial weight, you begin ti gain muscle, after your muscle become toned then you start to lose more weight. I know that is werid, but its true. However if you are small and you just want to lose a couple pounds, then you will probably tone muscle more than lose weight. Oh and by the way, muscle weighs more than fat so I recommend measuring your waist and thighs, more often than actually weighing yourself. Good luck

If only it's that easy! It takes a lot of work to gain muscle. You'd have to be working out a lot to make yourself look "too buff". This is especially true if you are female, because most females don't have enough testosterone that is needed to develop huge muscles.
