Can You Replace Body Fat With Muscle?

Published Aug,17 2011 | By Katie Horner

Participating in a consistent diet and exercise regimen will help to burn fat and build muscle. However, according to West Virginia University, fat and muscle are composed of completely different cells making conversion impossible.

Inspired by her mother who passed in 2007, Katie Horner decided to take on a career in the fitness industry. Since opening her first health club in 2008, she has been an active industry entrepreneur and advocate. In 2009, she found her passion when she began teaching Muay Thai boot camp classes, and personally training clients. In 2013 she co-founded The FIT List, an online fitness community uniting people of all fitness levels.
