  • Will doing weights make me bulk up? …I don’t want to get big.

    Most females start out having reservations about doing weights. As soon as they start seeing some muscle definition and their dress sizes going down, their opinions change dramatically!

    As mentioned briefly above, the beauty of building muscle is that it works for you continually, inside and outside of the gym, to burn calories and reduce our fat stores. Muscle is our friend. Rather than spending hours pounding the treadmill, we can do as little as 3–4 sessions per week, for approximately 45mins, and see substantially better results.

    So the answer is, no you won’t get big. Muscle weighs close to twice as much as fat, so you may be heavier on the scales at first… but you’ll be slimmer, fit into your clothes better, and look healthier! You won’t believe it til you try it.
