Will lifting weights make you bulky? Or is Pilates the secret to “long, lean muscles”?
This is Part 2 in our Strength Training & Weight Management Series.
This is one of the biggest fears I still hear from women- that strength training will change their body in ways they don’t want. In this episode, I’m breaking down:
What “bulk” actually is (and why we’re so afraid of it)
Why Pilates won’t make you look like a ballerina — and why lifting weights won’t make you look like a bodybuilder
The truth about “long, lean muscles”
How progressive strength training works without making you bigger
The difference between muscle mass, strength, and power — and why women over 35 need all three
If you’ve ever hesitated to pick up a dumbbell, this one’s for you.
