New lifter here! 3 months in. I wanted to get back the booty I lost while on my year of weight loss and calorie restriction, thus SQUATS are my new fave. I lift 3 days a week (splits) and do cardio and yoga maaaaybe once a week, if that. I may gain or maintain or lose (as I was at my last weigh-in, both inches and lbs), but regardless, I feel really happy lifting and am noticing more results than I've ever gotten in my stints of getting super into running/cardio. These are in order of least to most recent...apologies for drunk face in the last one lol4

I don't have pics. Darn! But I have proof in how my clothes fit. I'm 49. I'm not ripped, but I can wear skinny jeans and I feel/look better than I ever have. There's so much written now on why lifting (and lifting heavy) does not make women bulky, so I hope you can find some of that info for your friend.
Also, challenge her to try a strength program for just six weeks. Let her make a decision to keep going with it or not after that time period. I think so many women are really intimidated by lifting weights, but I always say go in prepared (I write my exercises down in the notes section of my phone, along w/weight, sets, reps -- teach her all that if you need to.) Practice before you go (visualize), and then go, stay focused, and just do it. And if you need to ask a question, trainers in the gym are usually happy to help.
After awhile it will be like second nature, and she'll be thrilled with the results!0 -
wow i wanna be totally ripped like some of these ladies.0

You can clearly see how bulky heavy lifting made me [NB: "heavy" is a very relative term here. I lift what is probably very light for some of the more awesome ladies in the thread, but those weights are a huge challenge for me, to the point of failures. So let your friend know,OP, that if she is out of shape like I was, "heavy lifting" for her muscles will probably be very light in the big picture. There's basically no chance it will bulk her up. :P]
Before Lifting - 134 lbs
After 4 months - 111 lbs0 -
