Long answer:
Many people (especially females) are afraid that if they lift weights, they will inherently get bulky. Which is not the physique most women view as desirable. Majority of women want to look lean, toned, and sexy - right?
So why not do those โtoningโ workouts we see in magazines, Instagram, and all over the internet?
๐จ Spoiler alert: those outer thigh kicks arenโt toning anything. Same goes for the butt kick backs on the stairmaster.
Simply put, weight training is for building muscle. Not bulky muscle, or toned muscle. Resistance training builds lean muscle tissue.
The tone or bulk comes fromโฆ.๐ฅ๐ฅ
๐ฅโฆ. Your diet!
Most people who are classified as โbulkyโ have a higher percentage of body fat, which is the result of eating more calories than the body needs to maintain its current state.ย Therefore, nutrition is the biggest factor in becoming โbulkyโ. If you eat more calories than you burn off, youโll get bigger.
And you guessed it, if you consume less calories than your body burns than youโll lose fat, resulting in a more defined, toned physique.
If youโre struggling to get the ideal physics you desire, hiring a personal trainer and/or nutrition coach who can properly and effectively help you set up a tailored workout regime and set a calorie and macronutrient breakdown customized to your goals will fast track your progress and get you results!
