Why did you gain 8 pounds after half a month of fitness?
Because you gain muscle, you lose fat, which is the same as muscle and fat. Fat is three times that of muscle, so muscle is heavier than fat. At this time, you should pay attention to your body circumference. The body size must be smaller than before. This is the charm of fitness. Don't blindly pursue the numbers on weighing scale, but pay more attention to the changes of body dimensions.
