◦Ok ok we don’t actually think you’re a stupid son of a B 😂 . . . . . but we do want to help you understand that lifting weights is not going to make you bulky.  In fact, lifting weights is the best way to get you to that “toned” look you’re going for.

While cardio plays an important role in any training program, excess amounts of it is not the ideal way to lose body fat.  The more cardio you do, the more efficient you become at it.  As your efficiency improves, you’ll burn less calories with the same amount of work.  This is great if you’re training for a marathon, but not if your goal is to lose body fat.

In strength training, the time you spend training does not have to continually increase to see results.  There are so many variables that can be changed to allow for continued progress: sets, reps, tempo, load, the list goes on!

Lifting weights helps to build lean muscle mass.  The more lean muscle mass you have, the better your body becomes at burning fat, along with a multitude of other benefits.
