“Women should never use more than 2 or 3 pound weighs because it bulks you up too much.” Tracy Anderson (fitness trainer to Madonna) on the use of weights in the gym.
(ed. note): It appears that 2-3 pound weights do a good job at bulking you up as well. Exhibit A: Madonna’s arms.
Do we like, or is this too bulky? You make the call.

Still waiting on the weight loss? Turn up the weight loss mechanism within and hit the free weights. Studies have proven that lifting weighs accelerates weight loss as opposed to an all cardio/aerobic workout routine. Make sure you are strength training every other day. Push those 2 and 3 pound dumbbells to the side and start lifting heavier. Branch out into double digit pounds…10, 12, 15, even 20 pound weights! Use the 20-pounders for areas like chest presses or one armed rows for your back. Get used to heavier weights and keep increasing the weights as you get stronger. Not only does strength training accelerate weight loss, but it also gives you defined muscle tone and a sexy body!
