Hi, my name is Kelsey I'm 18 and I was wondering if anyone knew any really good high-calorie burning exercises? (THAT DOESN'T BUILD MUSCLE.) I build muscle very easily. And am quite muscular for a girl. I know having muscle is good, but I'm at the point were I don't want to have anymore and I gain it to easily. So if anyone knows any good exercise please let me know. Also please don't say running cause it builds my calf muscles like crazy.

Thanks-
Kelsey

    There's really not a lot you can do that won't 'build muscle' because a lot of the time you're just losing fat that makes the muscle tone underneath more visible. You can try yoga for flexibility and strength but it will minimize muscle building since its all body weight based, but as you get stronger your muscles will increase. You can't really exercise without building muscle in some form :/

    Yoga or Pilates would be good or low resistance cardio (elliptical, arc trainer, etc.).
