Nope, just the opposite. Less muscle mass, more fat.
I'm exercising *more* but it's mostly low-intensity cardio, and yoga which *can* be very strengthening -- but not when you're teaching beginners.
I'll teach four hours of bellydance + yoga today, and I might also walk/jog with my doggie -- that's 5 hours of exercise. I'll burn more calories than I would Bhuzzing, and the jogging bursts will help boost my metabolism. But nothing there that requires more muscle mass from my body, it's all stuff I'm very capable of.
