Do Lifting Heavy Weights Make You Look Bulkier?

Females long for a slim and toned body. They just hate to be big and bulkier. It is a wrong notion that heavy weights make you bulkier. But the fact is that heavy weights and fewer repetitions burn more energy. It’s noted that those who do these exercises are found to have a greater metabolic boost after exercise.
Then, you may wonder how males get those entire bulky muscle look. It’s a not so known fact that bulky muscles are attained with heavy weight lifting and heavy calorie consumption.
You know that the daily calorie requirement is 2000. But if you consume well above the daily requirement and doing heavy weight lifting undoubtedly you will be bulkier. It’s usually seen among girls that they opt for lighter weights. Spend more time in gym with more and more repetitions.
What if you can spend less time for workout with fewer repetitions of heavy weights? Many studies were conducted on this behalf and the result too gave full support for lifting challenging weights and fewer repetitions. But every day at my clinic I come across fitness conscious women raising their doubts on if they bulkier with lifting heavy weights. Thus I came to know that many are still in darkness about this concept and understood the need to write about the same in my blog.
In short, I recommend girls to go for challenging weights and try fewer repetitions. But keep in mind that you should be doing all the exercise within the safety comfort zone. It’s always good to have a personal trainer.
This is the same principle that works for power yoga. Some people think that yoga is always slow and boring. But they are unaware of the fact that there are immense possibilities in yoga.
