If I had a dollar for every time a woman told me that they were nervous to lift heavier because they don’t want to look bulky, I’d have dozens of dollars in the bank! Women, especially older women have been fed this nonsense for years and it just isn’t true. The real truth is lifting=toning and I can prove it through sharing my personal upper body workout that I do weekly with increasingly heavier weights to achieve my upper body tone. As I’ve said before, I would never recommend anything to someone that I haven’t done or aren’t willing to do myself. I live my own programming every day.
That tone that you want so badly to see with all of your hard work will 100% come from picking up the weights. Well, that and reducing body fat through a modified diet based on your unique biology.
Lifting heavy weights for your skill level will tone your muscles without creating bulk by increasing your muscle density and reducing body fat. An added perk, is that there is no age limit on lifting, and the power you feel from discovering this as a woman in your second stage of life is exhilarating! Not only can we do it, we should do it and I would encourage anyone to start now.
Here is my personal upper body workout that I routinely and consistently do week in and week out. It’s short, it’s standard and it’s consistent! For information or to discuss your personal programming, contact me for more information! I’d love to help.
