If I do some resistance training exercises, will I slim down or bulk up?
Question:
I am a 5″8 girl, currently 153 pounds with a goal of 140. I made a routine that goes like this:
1. stand up and bend one knee until it is barely on the ground and repeat 3 times very slowly. this works my calves.
2. get on ground and lift one leg, bring it down and then hang it up so that it is just barely above the ground. repeat with both legs at once. works my upper thighs and stomache.
3. 10 sit ups and crunches but i hold each for about 30 seconds long. works stomache.
I’m still adding.This doesn’t really get my heartrate up though, so I’m wondering if this is gonna help me lose weight or just add muscle (i have no interest in that until i’ve actually lost the weight!)
Also, I’m not sure how I can work my ARMS. Any suggestions?
All these exercises are done very slowly so that the muscle keeps working for a long time, but I don’t know if what I’m doing is right. HELP PLEASE! Thank you!
