Hey - yeah I lift weights and love it. I like the muscular look - just not the hyper-bodybuilder look - its fine for some, just not for me! To get that look requires such intense training - cardio to burn the fat, weight training to build the muscle, lots of sleep to repair the muscles, very low-animal-fat diets and on the whole a strict lifestyle! To do it naturally anyway.
As soon as I get back into swinging my kettlebells around I notice a difference. People have commented on how toned my arms are - and yeah they're quite big I guess, but better bigger and muscluar than big and flabby!
My only trouble is my thighs - when I workout they also get bunchy muscles. Thats annoying - but hey some of us girls DO build muscle a little easier than others.
