Building muscle helps burn fat, correct?

Will toning up my lower body help me lose fat in my upper body? I know you can't spot reduce but can working out my lower body benefit an apple shape and get me more proportional

Yes it does. Spot reducing is a myth however. To loose overall fat you have to watch your diet and add cardio. Interval training is a great way to loose fat.

Sound advice here.

Absolutely. And don't worry, you aren't going to become Hulk Hogen either. Biologically women will have a very hard time picking up muscle mass.

Yes, as long as you're adding lean muscle mass. The legs are the biggest muscles in the body, they'll burn a lot if you work on them.
