HOW TO LIFT
WEIGHTS AND
STAY SLIM
LIKE ANY FITNESS PLAN, RESULTS
TEND TO COME WITH CONSISTENCY.
IT IS a myth that has plagued the idea of
weight training for women forever and is
probably one of the most common excuses
for avoiding weight training that personal
trainers of women hear: lifting weights will
make me bulk up! I really wish I didn’t have
to say this so often, but let me tell you this:
you can lift weights without getting bulky!
I’m going to break it down for you
so that you can get over your fear
of “hulking out” and understand it’s
possible to lift weights AND stay lean.
WHY YOU SHOULD ADD
WEIGHT TRAINING TO YOUR
EXERCISE ROUTINE
A well-rounded fitness program doesn’t
just include weight training. Cardio is
great for overall fitness and weight loss.
You can use weight training to help
shape and tone muscles as well as burn
more fat. Using a combination of training
styles can help you to maximize weight
loss as well as improve strength. And
resistance training can help your body
burn calories even after your workout has
finished. This is known as Excess Post-
exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC).
