Heavy lifting, calorie burning exercises

Don't confuse diet with exercise.

Diet is for weight loss, done right just fat loss, done wrong includes muscle mass.

Exercise is for heart health and body improvement, done right helps fat loss, done wrong can aid muscle loss. Side effect is usually weight gain.

Only thing exercise does for diet is it makes you burn more daily.
Therefore when you eat less, you still may be eating at a level you can adhere to and sustain.

So you could eat 1500 and no exercise and lose say 1 lb weekly because you burn 2000 daily.
Or you could eat 2000 and exercise and still lose 1 lb weekly because you burn 2500 daily.

Guess which one will transform your body more.

Lifting won't burn as many calories as cardio would, so you wouldn't get to eat as much, so that could be tougher.
But 1 lb is 1 lb loss, and making the muscle stronger while fat comes off is usually better.
Or else what will be revealed when the fat comes off?

Heavy lifting will not cause you to get bulky. You're a girl and do not have the testosterone to become bulky.

Start with a beginners program: Strong lifts, starting strength, new rules of lifting for women.
