"I Don't Want to be Bulky" she said

Many women are misguided on how to discover the best workout to become lean and continue having their feminine physique. This often results in the fear of using weights altogether, to avoid becoming “bulky,” or "large" which is not healthy! Our bodies need strong muscles to support our bodies, along with increasing our fat burning potential. So how can I increase my muscle strength, without getting big muscles? 

The first step is deleting everything in your mind about what you previously heard/thought about on resistance training, have a different mind set and of course, exercising.  Here is a BIG secret that I feel will help you train and achieve that body you are destined to have!  

Start by taking a deep breath, and walk towards the weights area. At first you may feel a little intimated by all the guys around you lifting 60+ lbs, but don't. Remember that what you think, is often not true when it comes to the guys in the gym when it comes to lifting. The majority of them are probably going to try and impress you as funny as that sounds. Since the main goal is to get lean and strong, you need to use resistance training. Resistance training is also known as lifting some weights in a certain fashion. aka lift some weights in some fashion. But, never fear! You will learn to lift the correct way, and with the correct technique to help you gain lean muscles and boost your self-confidence.

One of the best ways to achieve this, is by performing high intensity circuit training that is mixed with a little bit of plyometric ( also known as "jump training" ). By performing these styles of exercise, you are pushing your muscles to their maximum resistance, and using more of your muscle fibers.  

High intensity circuit training and jump training will allow you to lift heavier weight, and increase your fat burning potential all at the same time. That way you will become stronger and smaller. 

That's why in just 30 minutes of exercise, you can burn much more fat, than if you spent HOURS at the gym. When it comes to time, just remember its all about efficiency! Take a peek at my video below to see examples plyometric training.
