Not to sound like a broken record here, but I continue to see this topic come up - A LOT. Contrary to popular belief, lifting heavy weights won’t turn you into the Hulk, unless you’re secretly a gamma-radiation powered superhero - in which case, please share your secrets 🦸‍♀️ The truth is, heavy resistance training is one of the most effective ways to increase muscle mass and improve your metabolic rate, which basically means you’ll burn more calories even when you’re not working out. The best part? You don’t have to stop as you get older. In fact, lifelong resistance training is essential for maintaining our health and staying strong as we continue to age 🦴👵 If lifting is going to make me bulky, then my goal is to look bulky AF. IMO - Muscles are sexy💪 #strongnotskinny #liftheavy #foreverfit #strongAF #fitnessfacts #strongwomen
