WHY YOU SHOULD TRY BODYWEIGHT RESISTANCE TRAINING
I know that so many women are told to do heavier weights as a part of their resistance training.
Lifting heavier weights will help you build muscle and prevent the skinny fat look. But if you prefer a leaner look, lifting weights can make you look bulkier than you would like.
I remember that my PT told me that I have to lift weight s if I want to give my body tone and definition. So I did it.
But I also remember how it made my body look. My legs were bigger and my upper back was really broad. I had defined abs but I felt like a was bigger and bulkier. I’m a mesomorph body type which means I can build muscle quite easily and become bulky. And that wasn’t what I wanted.

Hey!! I am a mesomorph and I am so lost on where to start… do I do resistance training once a day as my workout until I achieve my goal? Do I start lifting weights?

I would like to purchase the Total Gym that Chuck Norris uses. It uses your own body weight for resistance. If I keep incline at the lowest setting, will I still cause bulkiness in my thighs? I need to do resistance training. I have a more Muscular built & am 5’3” & and a distance swimmer.

Hi Rachael,
Love this workout! As an endomorph, how often would you recommend I do this workout per week? Thanks!
Hey lovely,
Thanks for reaching out! :)
I am glad that you are enjoying the workout, feel free to practice it 3 times per week. :)
For even better results, Rachael suggests that you also practice daily cardio power walks, try aiming for at least 10 0000 steps altogether. :) xx

Rachael hasn't reviewed Total Gym, so we can't really comment. However, I will suggest that Rachael reviews it :)
