Will Strength Training Make You Bulky?


Listen Later

Will lifting weights make you bulky? Or is Pilates the secret to “long, lean muscles”?

This is Part 2 in our Strength Training & Weight Management Series. 

This is one of the biggest fears I still hear from women- that strength training will change their body in ways they don’t want. In this episode, I’m breaking down:

  • What “bulk” actually is (and why we’re so afraid of it)

  • Why Pilates won’t make you look like a ballerina — and why lifting weights won’t make you look like a bodybuilder

  • The truth about “long, lean muscles”

  • How progressive strength training works without making you bigger

  • The difference between muscle mass, strength, and power — and why women over 35 need all three

If you’ve ever hesitated to pick up a dumbbell, this one’s for you.

👂 Listen now — and next week, we’ll tackle Part 3 of this mini-series: Can you spot reduce fat with exercise?
