Don't Be Scared of a Little Muscle

Lots of women are, for fear they will get big, bulky, and manly. Let me tell you as someone who is currently trying to put on muscle, it is VERY difficult to gain so much muscle that you no longer look feminine! And, in fact, the more muscle you have on your body, the more lean you will become. You see, for every pound of muscle that you have your body burns an extra 50 calories per day, and that's when you're just sitting around. If you put on ten pounds of muscle your body would burn up to 500 extra calories per day! Muscle in no way hurts you or your physique; it only helps!
If you begin a weight training program and are dedicated to it at least three times per week and take in plenty of healthy protein (from sources like fish, chicken, tuna, and beans) you are on your way to amazing results! I dare you to try it! Then tell me what you think!

Have a great Tuesday and don't forget to get all the facts and vote!
