I put in my Fitness plan that thats what i wanted. I just don't want to get big like a man. I just want to tone like I said before. Does anyone know? Please write back:dumbbell:

Just follow the routine, train hard, eat right, and good things will come... -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

Keep us posted on your progress. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

Guys are in the gym lifting heavy weights and getting stronger and almost force feeding themselves to make gains agonizingly slow at times and girls are worrried about "accidentally" getting big. I'm not making fun of you, but if you think of it, it is funny. I hope looking at it in that light makes you feel more comfortable... and building muscle helps raise your metabolic rate, which means you burn more fat even when resting.
