If you want that “toned” look you’re chasing, the reality is you need to build muscle.
And as women, one of the biggest mistakes we can make is being scared to lift heavy because we think we’re suddenly going to get “too bulky.”
You’re not going to wake up one morning with huge muscles because you started lifting heavier, building noticeable muscle takes time, consistency and progressive training.
If you want more shape, curves and definition, you need to actually build the muscle underneath.
So instead of constantly picking up the lightest dumbbells and doing endless reps because you’re scared of getting bulky, start challenging yourself.
Lift heavier.
Get stronger.
Progress your training.
And if you’re in a fat loss phase, remember: losing fat reveals the muscle and building muscle creates the shape.
Stop being afraid of the thing that’s going to help you achieve the physique you actually want!
