This has to be the comment given to all of us personal trainers by our female clients when weights are introduced into the workout regimen. Ladies, it is ok. Do not be afraid of weights, for they are here to help. No you will not become built like a man if you use weights. No your arms will not get really big, nor will your legs become big either. Most of you ladies see the female body builders and think that this is the result of weights. Sadly mistaken. That would be the result of workouts about 3 times a day, heavy weights, insane meal plan (close to 8 times a day), insane amount of protein shakes and bars, high caloric and protein filled meals, and in some cases a bit of steroids or testosterone filled supplements. This is not something that occurs by doing 3 sets of 12.
Weights are essential to those wishing to tone up and can assist with those trying to lose weight. It adds resistance to drills and forces the muscles to work much harder to complete the range of motion desired. Lighter weights and multiple reps are the key to toning up those arms, legs, back, shoulders, and so on. So Please..Do not be afraid of weights. They are here to help.
