Lift Weights

Almost every other day a woman asks me...Ronny, how do you get your arms to look like that? Lift weights. How you get your legs to look like that? Lift weights. How do you stay in shape? Run...and lift weights. If you want muscle, you have to build muscle or burn off the fat that's covering it if you already have it. WOMEN..listen up.

1. YOU-WILL-NOT-GET-BIG-MUSCLES-LIKE-A-MAN by lifting weights! It takes an insane amount of lifting and consuming calories to get your muscles big as hell like a man.

2. It's easier to lose weight and get smaller by lifting weights than to get bigger. Muscles burn more calories per day...even when you are sleeping.

3. Burn more calories than you consume. That's the only way to lose weight (not including surgical procedures and stuff).

4. I started lifting weights 5 days a week when I was 13....I stopped when I was 22...do the math. Even though I'm 30 now, it doesn't take much for me to maintain my muscle. Do YOU need to do that? No. Of course not. But you do need to strength train at least 2 days per week. Do pushups, lunges, squats, crunches...you know...basic calisthenics are sufficient. Weight training..resistance bands...medicine balls...cow bells...etc. Do SOMETHING.

You will never be "toned" without some sort of strength training. So if you spend all your time doing cardio...you body size may get smaller, but you can still be skinny and flabby...AKA a skinny-fat person. So stop being afraid of the weight room and get yourself some muscle.
