It is typically very difficult for a woman to get bulky muscles due to lack of male sex hormones (testosterone). Unlesss they were just born short and stocky any otherwise lean women you may have seen that have bulky muscles train for many years to get that look and often take steroids as well....it's not a look that happens overnight. What I usually tell athletes such as your daughter is that you can make a muscle smaller or make it bigger, there is no such thing as "toning" a muscle and no such system of training that will do this. If she just wants her muscles to grow a little bit and accomplish her desired look in the shortest time possible her best bet is to train with basic exercises with the heaviest weight she can lift for approximately 8-12 repetitions and keep adding weight and volume until she achieves her desired level of muscularity. Once there she can taper off the weight training and be able to maintain without too much effort. Many women make the mistake of training with higher reps thinking this will shape and "tone" the muscle. What it does do is waste time and energy and is not worth much else (except maybe local muscular endurance). _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
