Heavy
 

Heavy weights will bulk you up.
“People worry that lifting heavy weights will bulk them up—it’s not going to happen! This is a constant battle with many of my female clients. This bad advice deters women from gaining strength, and building stronger connective tissue and postural muscles. When you have more muscle mass—density, not size—you increase your metabolism. I constantly advise clients to look at the research, or just check out a Victoria’s Secret model’s Instagram a few weeks before a show. They’re lifting substantial weights, doing CrossFit, and pushing themselves. The result? They all have lean, toned limbs.”
