Don't be afraid to lift!

This blog post applies to everyone, but it epically applies to the ladies out there that every time you go to the gym you jump on the treadmill and run/walk for about 45-60 minutes. It is not unnatural for a woman to just do cardio however; if you want to lean out and get that fit perfect hour-glass figure, you need to lift, no way around it. 

Me: "Understand?"

Woman: " Now hold on, I run and then do light lifting everyday so that I can tone and I am BULKING!"

Me: "Do you have a set meal plan or diet in place?"

Woman: "No, but that doesn't matter because I worked out so that evens going to McDonald's afterwards okay."

Me: "......"

See the problem?

You don't?!?!?!?

Heres the problem, there are 3 layers that affect how you look. Skin-->Fat-->Muscle in that order. 

The imaginary woman that I interviewed has it in her head that when she went to the gym that since she burned calories she can just go and eat whatever she wants and see results. Thats not an uncommon thing among women and some men, but heres the thing, you need both good nutrition and exercise to see that lean perfect figure no exceptions. 

What happens when you eat the fatty food, the fat layer under your skin expands and since you worked out your muscle like it should gets a little bigger keep this bad nutrition up and it seems like you are bulking and there aren't many women that want that. Then this causes women and certain men probably to go on these CRAZY and ridiculous fad diets such as the Twinkie diet and other unhealthy fad diets that make you starve yourself to loose weight. 

So basically what this post is saying do cardio, lift, and eat right and you will lean out and get that figure you have always wanted. Plus 5 pounds of muscle is less space than 5 pounds of fat. For more info check out Jim Cordova's youtube videos type in search box WorldBBchamp.
