RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

"I'm a woman, if I do weights I'll get bulky." FALSE. The only ways to get bulky are, 1) To strength train for bodybuilding, 2) Consume 100s of grams of protein, 3) Increase your testosterone levels, 4) Do little to no cardio. Strength training burns 4x more cal than cardio & keeps metabolism (how fast we burn cal) high for 24-36hrs (cardio only 2hrs) = getting lean & tone faster.
