Muscle gain in women; why you want it…

Lifting weights is an essential exercise for women, many are scared to try due to the over exaggerated theory that they will over night produce giant biceps and a thick neck… not true.

The goal is to gain lean muscle. The only way to do this is for you to add resistance training to your weekly workouts. Lean muscle isn’t bulky, it’s not big, and it’s not the kind of muscle you’d find on a bodybuilder. Its muscle that burns calories to maintain itself, that continues to burn those calories long after your workout is over. Unlike all your cardio workouts or hours of aerobics that burn calories only while you’re moving a good weights resistance session can create up to 48 hours of increased metabolism (Calorie burning) and leave your body strong and firm.
