Heavy weights won't bulk you up. Quite the contrary, they're going to slim you down, and here's why. Hi, I'm Dr. Cathy. I'm a chiropractor, fitness professional, and a transformation and empowerment coach here to explain why it's okay to lift heavy weights. The reality is most women don't have enough testosterone in their body to actually bulk up. So what happens when we lift heavy weights? Well, we create anti-aging chemicals in our body. While also building muscle, which means we're increasing our muscle density, muscle mass, which means we're also improving our bone density. So all of this combined with the increased metabolism that's going to help you burn more calories means lifting heavy weights is going to help you achieve your goals and stay healthy long-term.
