Aerobic exercises don't do as much to build muscle as weight lifting, but they aren't as effective for burning fat either. Exercises that use your body weight will also get you into shape, without too much muscle. A lower calorie diet will help keep muscle from building up too, but can be harmful if it is too drastic.

However, most people will never build an unattractive amount of muscle, especially if they are trying to control their diet to slim down. Muscle is usually attractive weight that gives you a good shape. If it does become a problem, simply stop increasing or maybe even cut back the level of your workout, and watch that you aren't packing on too many calories. Muscles can actually get smaller and stronger.

Yes, it's possible to build muscle in a week. On the other hand, the amount that you build may be too small to notice.

Instead, what you do in the gym stimulates muscular growth outside the gym. Therefore, it is as important to eat and rest as it is to train intensely in the gym..

Does muscle effect your weight?

Yes, muscle weighs more than fat. Some people say when you work out, you lose the fat, and you see the fat loss on the scale, but then you build muscle, making the scale numbers rise, but this is a good thing. You want to add muscle and reduce the fat. The results you seek should not be found on the scale, but in the mirror.
