I found this really interesting post from Stumptuous. It reminded me of a discussion I’ve had at least a dozen times.
I have a few female friends, and I also observe this at the gym quite a bit. They weigh 100 pounds, yet they insist on spending hours doing cardio, the response is always. “I don’t want to get big, that’s gross”. If it was only that easy.
I’ll always tell them weights actually burn more calories, and has a longer lasting thermogenic effect on your body.
Just give weights a try.
