Will lifting weights make me bulky?
As consumers of the media, we are constantly bombarded with images of bodies that are designed to look a certain way. From small and skinny to big and bulky, celebrities and bodybuilders alike, we see what we are told we should look like. That’s the thing… why is anyone telling you what to look like? What does healthy and happy look like on YOU? But I digress. Let’s talk about what this blog is about: lifting weights. Many people believe that lifting weights will make you bulky. That is so far from the truth. Lifting weights makes you strong.
Sure, if you want to get big, lifting weights can help do that for you. That’s why people train a certain way, eat a certain way, and take certain supplements in order to get to a certain size. This is often known as bodybuilding.
Women especially should NOT be limited to lightweights, cardio, and isolated machines. Aside from it being totally awesome when a girl can out-lift a guy, it’s even cooler when she can pick up her injured kid off the playground or pack the car with the giant cooler for the weekend getaway. Lifting weights makes you strong, and that makes life much more enjoyable.
