When it comes to fitness, many women are fixated on the number on the scale - and so, they modify their diet and exercise with the goal of losing weight.

But in reality, how much a person weighs doesn't actually reflect their level of fitness, according to Don Saladino, a New York City trainer known for sculpting the bodies of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

Fat and muscle weigh the same - though muscle is more dense and distributed differently on a person's body. So a woman who works out all the time might weigh the same as a woman who rarely hits the gym, but she'll also likely look completely different.

"It's like buying food in a bag or food in a can. You can weigh both items and they can weigh the exact same, but their structure is completely different because of what it's made of," Saladino told INSIDER.
