Yes, Women CAN Lift Weights

Afraid of lifting weights because you might end up with big, bulky muscles? Not at all! Big muscles come from lifting heavy weights. To lean up and burn fat, women should do multiple repetitions with lighter weights. Try 10 sets of 10 arm curls with 2 pound weights. It may seem light, but the results will be long lean arms in time for summer.

To tone those arms even more, and rid of the underarm flab try these moves:

• Hold a set of 2 pound or 5 pound weights in each hand, depending upon what you feel most comfortable with and what level you are in weight training.
• Arms down by your side, raise each arm simultaneously to shoulder level
• Slowly bring arms back to starting position
• Repeat, doing 5 – 10 sets of 10 -12 reps

Don’t be afriad and turned off by weights, since they help you tone up, lean down, and look your very best!
