Many chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and low back pain have a strong association with carrying excess weight (particularly excess fat mass). As such, many conversations I have with my clients revolve around the most effective way to lose weight whilst improving body shape and functional capacity. |
For many male clients, the mere mention of strength training is the motivating factor behind getting them started with their program! However, for female clients, their first comment is usually: “But I don’t want to ‘bulk up’!” So if you’re female and you’ve been prescribed a resistance training program, should you be concerned about “bulking up”? |
