Hi Jenny.
Normal. . .I am not sure there is such a thing
It isn't unusual for some people to gain weight when they begin a workout program. Weight really isn't that important. Our weight, is simply a measurement of the force of gravity on our physical mass. If you want to know how your workout program is affecting your body, use a tailors tape measure and take note of how your clothes feel. I recently saw in Prevention that it takes a month of workouts for an individual to begin to notice a difference and it takes about 3 months for others to notice.
Tony,
Fat does not turn into muscle. Fat is stored in fat cells in the body, hopefully for later use as fuel. Muscle tissue is made up of fibers. When we exercise, we can increase the size of muscle fibers and shrink the size of fat cells. By increasing the size of the muscle fibers, we burn more calories, carbohydrates and hopefully fat.
