Scared you’ll get a bigger what? You’re not going to get a big anything with those DVDs. I have the Self: Bikini Ready Fast DVD. It’s a combination of cardio and strength training with dumbbells. I love that workout. It’s going to strengthen and tone, but you’re not going to bulk up because they aren’t bulking exercises.

Some women bulk up because they’re lifting very heavy weights, have a diet and use supplements meant to build massive muscle, plus lord knows what else they’re using. In order with have muscles like a body builder, you need to train like one.

As for now I do HIIT on cardio machines, mostly bike and elliptical. I do 20 lb bicep curls and I squat 135.
However… I have noticed that I seem bigger..I hate to say “bulky”, but that’s kind of it. My body is strong but my clothes are getting tighter on my thighs. I am naturally muscular person especially in my quads, in fact I gain muscle quickly. My thing now is to slim down all around. I want to have less fat of course but also less muscle so I don’t look bigger in my clothes.

So when I do cardio machines should I increase resistance like I usually do? What do you suggest? Thanks so much!!

It will make your dick limp and freeze your brain cells. You’ll get stupider than you already are.

Answer:

You’ve plateaued. You’re not building enough muscles. Don’t just do push-ups. You have to do a total body workouts.

Quit doing the cardio. You’ll get enough cardio if you do proper resistance training.

The fastest way to lose weight is to build muscle. Each pound of lean muscle burns about 40-50 calories per day at a resting metabolic rate. 10 lbs of muscle will burn 400-500 calories. 20 lbs of muscle will burn 800-1000 calories. The fat will melt off and you’ll end up with a lean body.

To build muscle you want to do high intensity resistance training. High intensity does not mean spending hours in a gym getting an intense workout and it doesn’t mean working out really hard so the sweat’s dripping down your face. It means doing roughly 8-10 reps with a level of resistance that challenges you enough so that it takes a significant amount of effort to complete that last rep. Then rest for about 30 seconds and move to the next muscle group. Workout out every major muscle group like this 3x times a week like Mon, Wed, Fri and then rest two days. You do not have to spend hours in a gym to effectively build muscle and you don’t even need weights.

I highly recommend resistance bands. They are considerably cheaper than weights, not to mention portable. If you get the kind with the clips on the end, you can easily customize the resistance level as your body adapts. That will prevent you from plateauing and will keep your muscles challenged.

Don’t stop using the protein. Muscle MUST have protein. If you don’t consume protein, your muscles will waste away. No muscles = no fat burning.

I have tone abs, but I want them to be bigger, does anyone know any resistance training for the abs? Or, could you give a website that does?

Answer:  Ab muscles are not like biceps.  Jeez Louise, could you imagine bulging muscles on your stomach?  You’d be a frickin’ sideshow freak.  The exercises for building muscle vs toning muscle is in the execution.  More reps, lower resistance = toning muscles.  Low reps, higher resistance = building muscles.  Building muscle also requires you to consume lean protein or protein supplements.
