in Health and Weight Loss
Ok I am a yoga person,actually do 40 rounds of suryanamaskar 5 - 6 times a week.I do real fast usually done in 25 mins.... at the end of which i am all sweaty and all which is a very good thing.... have lost 15lbs in the past several months.
so recently i started doing weights not much 5 to 10 lbs free weights coz i thought i needed to firm up a lil as i lose weight.
Now here is the problem my shirts are tighter around the arms and shoulders and i hate it.i feel bulky instead of feeling slender....
HELP!!! should i stop weights?

    Are you measuring yourself? I'd say that it's too soon to bulk up.

    As for yoga, do you do anything else besides surya namaskar? Your body might be getting used to your practice, and you may need to change things up a bit.
