Exercise makes my clothes feel tight?



Everytime I decide to work out (just walking on the treadmill or riding a stationary bike for 20 minutes or so a day) my pants seem to get tighter around the butt and thigh area which are my problem areas anyway and I panic and stop working out because that is the last place I want to get bigger. I don't do any weight training. I am guess it is muscle build up. What can I do to overcome that point that makes me want to quit everytime? Anybody else have the same problem? I do want to tone up my legs and butt but not fill out my pants even more!!!!

Your muscles are just retaining water to rebuild from your workout. It will go away.
no sodium
no salt basically
don't give up the more u do it
the quicker u will see the fat melt off
20 mins of excercise burns fat 24 hours
Are you sure it's not water weight? That little bit of exercise shouldn't have a significant effect on your muscle size for your clothes to tighten. In fact, muscle takes up less space than fat so typically people losing weight may initially see little or no change on the scales, but notice their clothing getting loose.

Biking will work the thighs and build them, but there isn't any exercise that doesn't work some muscle even if the goal isn't to make it larger. However, you are a female so you can't bulk up (we don't have the hormones for that) so keep up with your exercising and know that your muscles aren't going to get grossly large. You may try upping your workouts to an hour a day, for more calorie burning.

Good luck!
Stop stressing, it is not growth. It is extra blood flow. Your muscles need the blood when you are working out, and when you are not working out it takes awhile to shrink.

Measure your width after working out.. Take a cool shower and try again, I think you will see the growth is gone.
It's called work out, not easy out.
