Day 19 of 31 To Your IdealShape: Be Strong
Posted on 11. May, 2010 by Skyler Meine in Fitness
Some people want to tone up. Some people want to get rocked out. Whatever your IdealShape is, resistance training is vital to getting there.
For those of you who worry about bulking up when you lift weights, I promise muscle looks better than fat. Let’s get rid of the body fat first, and then if you feel like you’re bulky we can decrease your muscle mass.
Here’s why we do resistance training from the get-go. It’s going to force your body to maintain muscle while you are restricting calories to decrease body fat. You don’t want to be left with no muscle in the process of getting to your IdealShape (ex. HCG, MD Diet). Your weight will go right back up! (more…)

I like the part “I promise muscle looks better than fat.” I have to admit I am reluctant to weight train because I have that fear of bulking up…. but that is so true, muscle DOES look better than fat!

I crack up everytime I hear a girl (or I guess anyone) say that their weight loss program is all cardio. Where did people learn that ALL CARDIO is what will get you to lose weight? SO many people think that, but it is so far from the truth.

I have to agree that muscle looks better than fat,and if you train right and eat right, you can have nice lean muscles.

I don’t understand why everyone gets scared of weight training. I want to be strong and have muscles!
