Don't Be Afraid of Weights

No, weightlifting won't necessarily make you bulk up. According to trainer Mauro S. Maietta, an AFAA-certified trainer and a coach at Crunch in New York, women tend to use weights that are too light because of this myth. Don't be afraid to pick up something heavier. "It is the volume of sets and reps that lead to muscle growth, but you should use weights that are challenging after six to eight repetitions," Maietta says.
