Tip #1: Lift heavy.
There’s your very first tip. Try lifting heavy instead of light weights. It doesn’t have to be part of every single workout. But if you are a mostly cardio or light-weights kind of person, you need to try this. You could see major results….a) because it will increase your metabolism and burn more fat, even after your workout…b) because it will increase your strength and improve your muscle composition, giving you a firm, lean look. It will improve your overall health and well-being. Go as heavy as you can for 8-12 reps. If, after 12 reps, you feel you can go longer, try increasing the weight a bit more. And ladies, you won’t bulk up. You just won’t. Bonus: With less reps, your workouts will be shorter!
