2 What are the facts about exercise? Can you actually change the shape of your body simply by exercising? Can any woman look like Jane Fonda if she works out? Can any man look like Arnold Schwarzenegger if he lifts weights long enough? As a matter of fact, the answer is no, not really. Genetics determined the number of fat cells you have and your muscle definition (how visible your muscles are) before you were born, so there is a limit to how much your body can change now with exercise. However, you can lose weight by burning (using up) more calories than you take in. Exercise combined with dieting can help, but you probably won’t look like Ms. Fonda unless you did before you started. Also, you can strengthen and enlarge your muscles; this can improve your overall appearance, but it probably won’t make you look like Mr. Schwarzenegger unless you were born with his kind of muscle definition.
