Ok so I just joined the gym again cause I took a break for school. I m not fat but I just need to tone and firm. What machine should I do and how often to firm up but not bulk up? I really want to work on my abs and legs.
Answer:
You should do the machines that all the big guys use. You won't bulk up because you don't have enough testosterone in your body and, chances are, you aren't eating the very large amount of food that it takes to bulk up. There is a reason you see fit people using the "bulk up" machines and unfit people using the "toning" machines.
It is a myth that women bulk up like men do when they work out. Women usually have to take protein or other supplements in order to have big muscles. The reason is that, due to hormones, women have more body fat than men (after all, our bodies are prepared to carry a fetus). That layer of fat hides the definition of the muscle, so even women who lift large amounts of weight don't have muscles defined like a man. Even if you are trying to lose weight, you will not lose enough body fat to show a high amount of muscle definition. If you do, then you are getting into the danger zone! Basically, don't worry about bulking up. If you work out a lot and find that you are looking "too bulky," then cut back to less weight or alternate your routines.
well females dont bulk up naturally unless they use some can of assistance .such as steroids and other muscle building supplements
A. You can not bulk up. As a female you don't have the right hormonal profile to build muscle (ex: testosterone).
B. Machines are crap and are an outdated way to train. Stick to free weights and other non mechanical type things (bands, med balls, etc.) and use compound lifts rather than single joint movements. You'll save time and burn more calories.
C. "Toning" is a result of getting rid of the layer of fat covering your muscle tissue. Now to get rid of fat you have to be in a moderate caloric deficit via proper nutrition and exercise.
D. Don't do too much cardio as it's plain ineffective for fat loss and can kill your metabolism in the long run.
First question. Why do you need a gym to accomplish that? Social, right? Do you think that the "machine" that allows you to work your abs is better than doing crunches on the floor of your bedroom? If you want others around you for inspiration and to help pass the time on the eliptical, that is a great answer and one that I believe in. Most people won't come forward with that, but that is the basis of that industry.First answer: You are a girl. You won't bulk up unless you TRY to bulk up and that regimen would be life-altering. Routine healthy exercise will help you tone and trim. Guys are different, but most of us could not care less if we bulked-up accidentally.Second question: Are you interested in health or the way you look? Both are important but they each have different solutions, unless you are patient and responsible, in which case, they have the same solution. I'm guessing that because it is early June, you are trying to feel like you look good in a bathing suit. How do you want to look? Slim in a bathing suit, or healthy?Second answer:
If you wan't to work on your abs and legs, find a staircase or some bleechers at the local highschool and just start walking up and down. Either that, or use the "Stairmaster" at the gym for an extra $100 per month.
