Ladies, do NOT be afraid to lift heavy. I know there are a lot of myths regarding women and weight training, such as “lifting heavy weights will make you manly and bulky”.

The truth is, women do not have the levels of testosterone necessary to build muscle the way men do. Believe it or not, it is actually very difficult for women to build muscle! (Muscle is what gives you TONE). You will not pick up a heavy weight and wake up the next morning looking like the incredible Hulk. If it were THAT easy to build muscle and tone, don’t you think more girls would be tone?? Think about it!

Lift heavy (don’t forget to eat clean), you’ll be glad you did when your body is tone and lean!
