A: The changes of you building the type of muscles that would make you look like a man, are highly unlikely. This is one of the misconceptions that women have about strength training. Just lifting weights alone will not build muscle, give you bulky arms or reduce breast size. Lifting weights will help you to lose weight and get the toned look you desire.
We all think of bodybuilders, both men and women, and think everyone will look like this when we strength train. What everyone needs to realize is that to build muscle it takes a very disciplined strength training routine, a nutrition plan to fuel your workouts and proper supplementation. Realize that bodybuilders are training in the gym at least 4 hours each day, 5-6 days a week to ave the muscle gains that they have. Also, women do not produce enough testosterone like men, so this is another reason why women will have difficulty building muscle.
As women, we should not be afraid of working out and lifting weights. We should have a fitness regimen that consists of total body strength training with lifting weights (5lbs-10lbs), cardiovascular training and stretching. We all want those toned arms and legs right? The only way to have this is to incorporate strength training into your diet.
Remember the more lean muscle you have the more calories you will burn which means you will have less fat deposits.
Here are a few examples of great compound movements that will not only increase your strength, develop your muscle tone, strengthen your core and provide a great cardio workout that will burn calories.
• Also pushups are another great exercise that will tone your entire upper body! To add a little spice and variation, try the “Ms. America Sash”
