If you are a woman working out you need to see this - One of the biggest reasons women tend to shy away from lifting weights is the fear that doing so will make their muscle bulky. It's actually a valid concern since most women don't want to have big, thick muscular legs or thick muscular waists and therefore avoid workouts that cause this. In this video, we are out to dispel the myth that women working out with weights will cause them to get unnecessarily bulky muscles. We will show you that in fact, shying away from using heavier weights is actually one of the biggest women's workout mistakes you can make! When the goal is to develop lean, toned muscles that look good in any dress, pair of shorts, or t-shirt then you want to be sure that you are not just focusing on cardio workouts and instead are getting in a consistent dose of strength training. Strength training for women consists of lifting weights that are challenging to your muscles. If the weight that you are lifting is not challenging or heavy enough to cause a change in your muscles, then your body is going go look unchanged and all of your hard work will not be rewarded. The problem is, most women who work out tend to stick to just the cardio machines like the treadmill, stairclimber, etc in the gym and never dare to enter the free weights zone! They think that being there and lifting weights like heavy dumbbells will be the fastest way to get bulky muscles. This cannot be further from the truth. The fact is, women need to work out with weights. It's not only good for your muscle tone and shape but also for the health of your bones. The Athlean-XX for Women Training System is centered around the use of more significant dumbbells than just 2 and 3 pounders! We know that if we can get ladies to work out with dumbbells and with heavier weights that we can help them to develop lean, attractive muscle tone in a shorter period of time. In fact in just 90 days, the Athlean-XX for Women program helps our women get more healthy, toned muscle which gets them feeling stronger and more fit than ever before.

Thank you Athlean XX for putting up a variety of videos. I can't wait to see the workouts that can be exchanged in the A XX system for those of us who purchased it. I for one purchased this system after viewing the men AX. Many women are athletically driven, much like the men. Women too are ex-military or ex-high school athletes whom competed in many sports. We love and miss the drills, sprints, push til you drop, and competition you offer the guys in their videos. Please, keep 'em coming!

Looking -bulky- or -lean- has nothing to do with what u do in the gym (male or female. My opinion, i think any workout a person doe should be challenging by using challenging weight to do a desired amount of reps. However, if u are worried about looking lean Or bulky then u definitely need to look into your diet to make sure you're getting the proper nutrition to get your desired look or keep u from getting that undesirable look.

I don't use barbells at the gym, but I do use the dumbbells and I do the squats first at every workout. Reason why I don't use barbells is because I hate loosing my spot at the gym. HA! Really!

Hi Glenna Frey, the -at home- form would look exactly the same. No matter what equipment you use you should always align your knees over your heels and use the same form you see me do in the video
