Women: Lifting Weight WON'T Make You Bulky.

 If you’re reading this it is likely you are one of the 1000s of women who think lifting heavy weights will make you bulky, and that’s not your fault. Blame the media!
Here’s why lifting weights is good for women (and won’t make you bulk up):

Reason #1 Female bodybuilders don’t look that way by mistake, it takes a lot of planning and preparation. It requires years of dedication and consistency, as well as a massive amount of food (and in some cases performance enhancing drugs). You won’t look like you’re about to step on stage after training with weights for a year.

Reason #2 You train for the results you want. If you’re looking to be an elite bodybuilder you’ll be training for 2 hours 6 times a week, whilst eating a calorie surplus. If you’re just looking to improve the shape and size of your body you’ll combine weight training 2-3 times a week with a healthy diet and a small amount of cardio.

Reason #3 You won’t wake up tomorrow with muscles like Kai Green. It takes months to see massive changes in the size of your muscles, so you’d decrease training volume if you ever did decide for example, that your biceps are too big.

Reason #4 You’ll burn more calories when you start weight training, therefore increasing your metabolism making it easier to get yourself into a calorie deficit- and therefore lose fat.  Let’s face it- who wouldn’t want to swap jiggly fat for lean muscle.
So put down those 5lb dumbells and start deadlifting.  You won’t regret it.

Here’s some reasons why:

Reason #1 You’ll feel more confident in a swim suit. Weights and a solid nutritional plan are the key to a lean, toned physique.

Reason #2 You’ll burn more calories 24/7 thanks to an increased metabolism.

Reason #3 You’ll fit into those skinny jeans again as muscle is denser that fat.

Reason #4 You’ll lose your bingo wings (if this isn’t a good enough reason I don’t know what is).

Reason #5 You’ll strengthen your bones, reducing your chance of osteoporosis related fractures.

Example weight training workout for women:

1. Deadlift (3 x 10)
2. Bench Press (4x8)
3. Bent Over Dumbell Row (3x12)
4. Goblet Squat (3 x 15)
5. Shoulder Press (3 x 12)
6. Upright Row (3 x 10)
7. Sit Up (3 x 15)
8. Side Plank (2 x 30 seconds on each side)
