So many women think that for some reason lifting weights will result in them bulking up. I don’t know who has drilled this into their heads but its a complete myth! Firstly women don’t have nearly as much testosterone as men do, which means building muscle is much more difficult. Secondly your going to have to be consuming a massive amount of calories whilst going pretty hardcore on the weights to notice any kind of bulk in your muscle which most women don’t do anyway. If your a female and your hesitant about lifting weights for that reason,you need to get that idea out of your head. Weight lifting can be hugely beneficial for women. One of the big benefits is that it helps you burn extra calories because when you break the muscle down it burns calories repairing itself. Another great reason is that it helps sculpt your body. Doing cardio alone will more than likely just result in weight loss, if you want to tone and shape your body, lifting weights will help!
