Best Personal Trainers in Denver, CO

Will I get “bulky” from lifting weights? This is a common question we get from our female prospects. They are concerned that they will look like a bodybuilder or a power lifter after we explain how important we believe strength training is for health and longevity during the initial consultation. No. Women will not get bulky like men (and even most men cannot get the big muscles that bodybuilders get) for two reasons. The first reason is that women do not produce as much testosterone as men do. Testosterone is the hormone that increases muscle mass and strength, and men produce more of it than women do. The second reason is that men simply have more cross-sectional muscle mass than women do to begin with. That alone will lead to bigger muscles that men tend to get. Women, on the other hand, will see more of the desired feminine look as they get stronger. More tone and definition in the muscles. More of an hour glass shape, a lifted rear end and so forth. Do not be afraid of getting as strong as you can. You will be very happy with the results.
