    I laughed out loud at the line in "Monsters University" where the little monster, Art, mentioned that he didn't want to get too big. If Disney gets it why can't people who are actually working out?

    So tempted to watch this, but I will wait to see the whole movie! :)
    it's the preview :)

    Haha, ok, I was worried it was like a whole scene from the movie! Hoping to take my son to see it soon.

    You will "bulk up" if you do a lot of low-weight, high-rep movements (this leads to type 1 muscle fiber hypertrophy, responsible for improvements in muscular endurance and "bulk"). Switch to a routine involving low-rep high weight movements (fewer than 8 reps to failure) to improve strength and get all the benefits of resistance training and a nice "toned" look without adding a lot of bulk.

    Edit: You will only bulk up if eating at a caloric surplus. This is not a concern if at a deficit.

    I was thinking the same thing as the person who said they are 99.999 percent sure you don't have bulky legs. I can't imagine you having bulky anything, with such a slender build

    I am wondering what kind of results any of you have had doing jillians Killer Buns & Thighs? I have done many of her DVDs and am on level one of this one now. I'm really worried my legs will only get more muscular, and they are already bulky. I'm hoping for leaner legs, thin but not skinny. Any input will be much appreciated! Oh and I am 24, 5'5" and around 115lbs

    at 5ft5 and 115lbs i am 99.999999% CERTAIN that you dont have bulky legs.....

    Holy s...THIS. I'm an inch taller than you and know what 115 looks like on me. FAR from bulky....really very thin.

    Besides that, there is absolutely no Jillian Michaels workout that will make anyone "BULKY" or turn your body into one like Jillian's, if that's your aim or concern.
