pixiechic said: "that would be a really good reason to start strength training. that helps your metabolism a lot!"

sky said: "Working out is a great way to feel great and look great. Look into what kind of muscle you want. Women dont want to be bulky."

Heather said: "I was watching TV earlier today, and learned that 1 pound of muscle will help to burn 55 extra calories a day. That means if you add 10 pounds of muscle to your frame, it will help to burn 550 calories per day! I just thought I would pass it on!"

Heather said: "Ladies that REALLY look like men are probably using something to get that way. Using a lower weight amount and more reps will help build muscle tone and not add bulk. If you are just getting started, building some muscle will be very important."

Darren said: "Most hugely muscled women are probably using steroids, just like the men. I think 99% of all women who work out won't get huge. And almost everyone looks better with some muscle tone at least."

cvalh said: "haha, sky, some women don't mind having well defined muscle... it's pretty hard for most women to be bulky anyway, just because men have more muscle tissue to actually work with than do women."
