No. Excess calories will make you bulky.

What are the benefits of weight training?

Lifting weights is the fastest way to change your body shape. Women do not have enough natural hormones to build enormous amounts of muscles mass. Bulky women are usually carrying too much body fat. You will lose fat with cardio but you won’t change your shape – you will just be slimmer but remain the same shape. To get nice curves and better proportions on your physique, you have to do weight training. Apart from the cosmetic benefits, lifting weights combats osteoporosis and strengthens bones.

What are the best exercises to lose weight?

High Intensity Training (HIT) is the best way to lose weight as it burns more calories during workouts compared to aerobic workouts and continues to burn more calories after the workout has finished. HIT takes less time in the gym compared to aerobic workouts. Examples of HIT exercises are:

Hill Sprints

Circuit Training

Cycling

Rowing

Boxercise Session

Body Pump Session

Spin Classes
