What is body recomposition?

Many people who seek personal training are actually aiming for something called body recomposition—a process focused on building lean skeletal muscle mass while simultaneously reducing unwanted body fat. This approach is especially effective for beginners or individuals with visible fat stores. The keys to success are consistent strength training and creating a modest calorie deficit of about 200–400 calories per day.

As lean muscle mass increases, your resting metabolic rate also rises, meaning you burn more calories—and more fat—throughout the day. Once you’ve reached a body mass index (BMI) or overall physique you’re happy with, the focus shifts to maintenance.

For more experienced lifters, training may include structured bulking and cutting phases—periods dedicated to muscle growth followed by leaning down for enhanced definition.
