David Kirsch on toning up without bulking up


Monday, August 08, 2011


Many of my female clients shy away from weight training because they’re worried about adding bulk. While the female body actually struggles to develop large muscles, I calm my clients’ concerns by prescribing light weights and high reps. For the guys I train, and even for myself, achieving a toned, sculpted body, doesn’t require ‘heavy lifting.’

The quickest route to toned, sculpted, sexy muscles is circuit training, a method that reduces rest time in between each set to boost calorie burning potential. I like to use a combination of the medicine ball, stability ball and resistance tubing along with free weights so no muscle is left behind.

When it comes to toning legs, choose wisely. If your quads are already prominent, avoid traditional squats. Instead try a wide-stance squat or a plie squat. Again, skip heavy weights and keep repetitions high. Rely on your body weight for resistance or a very light set of hand weights.
