Super Fit Quick Tip

MYTH: Lifting heavy weights make women bulk up.

REALITY: Women don’t have enough of the muscle-building testosterone to get big muscles, even using heavy weights. Now granted, if they take anabolic steroids, they will develop a masculine physique. The truth is, many women will gain muscle faster than they lose fat because they don’t maintain a calorie management program. A woman needs to be “hypocaloric” so they burn off the fat and reveal the slim, toned muscles underneath. It’s imperative to combine your weight lifting and cardiovascular exercise with a calorie management program.
