Flex Fitness Personal Training Myth Buster: Women Who do Weight Training Will get Bulky Muscles Like Men

  Men and women share different physiology when it comes to building muscle mass.

Men have a greater amount of testosterone, helping to maintain and build mass more easily. Men also tend to train differently then women.Their goals are usually very different, and they do heavy weights and low repetitions, where as women do the opposite.

FACT: There is great benefit for men and women alike to lift weights to burn calories.

One pound of subcutaneous body fat will burn approximately 2-3 calories per day just to sustain itself (ie. performing daily activities, work etc.). But, one pound of lean muscle will burn 7-10 calories per day to sustain itself.That is why it pays to build lean muscle to help you achieve the fit healthy body you have always wanted.
