Using weights in your resistance training is a great way to add strength and stability to your weekly workouts. But what if you don't want to build "too much" muscle and feel like you look "bulky"? Does weight training add "bulkiness" to your body? This is a common concern mostly among women who are interested in adding strength but not to the point where they feel uncomfortable. In this episode we break down whether or not weight training you give you a "bulky" look or if this is just a misconception.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). Some of Meredith's personal experiences in working with clients over the years and some of their thoughts on whether they felt weight training was for them or not.

2). What exactly happens to your body when you train using weights.

3). How diet greatly affects the possibility of getting "bulky" and how much you would really need to eat to get there.

4). The actual everyday benefits that you reap when adding regular strength training and weight training to your workouts.

5). Meredith's best suggestions on how to add strength training to your workouts without the concern of felling "bulky" etc.
