What is Body Recomp?

Body recomp, or body recomposition, is a process of simultaneously losing body fat and gaining muscle mass. It involves strength training to increase muscle mass and a caloric deficit to lose fat.

The Importance of Diet

However, learning about one's diet and exercise can help. Encouraging readers to try building muscle, start strength training, and eat clean may yield positive results.
