Resistance Training

Mention weight lifting or resistance training and the first thing you hear is, “I don’t want to get big!” Yes, lifting weights can have that affect, but trust me, unless you are making a very committed effort to gain size, it just isn’t going to happen.

Working out with weights helps you firm up the muscles you have and burn the body fat you tend not to want so much of. You can use weights to train for the look you want, whether tight and tone, sleek and fit, or firm and fantastic, but you need to know your body well enough to keep the goals realistic.

Remember training with weights is just one aspect of a well-rounded fitness routine. Stretching, cardio and as always and most importantly, proper nutrition all are just pieces of a fitness puzzle that fit together to create a better and healthier you.

Let a personal trainer teach you the proper way to use weights and don’t worry about “getting big”.
