In our quest to shape up, we often get caught up with one thing: the digits on the weighing scale. The truth is, muscles weigh more than fat, so if you haven’t seen the number budge despite working out and eating healthily, it could simply be because you’ve gained muscle. And having more muscles calls for celebration. 

For one thing, muscles are behind your metabolism state. The greater your muscle mass, the more calories you’ll burn at rest. The bottom line: If you want to lose flab, you should work on building muscles through strength training. Besides burning calories, muscles also make you look firmer, leaner and stronger. And we can’t deny that confidence boost. 

In the following pages, we recommend the best body-toning exercise classes in Singapore to sculpt and strengthen you all over. Whether you’re looking to lose that jelly belly or jiggly thighs, you will find a workout that’s tailored to your needs.
