There are some women who believes that doing too much exercise to lose some weight will eventually make them muscle-bound. It’s just logical since men who often exercise often develop muscles in all their parts of their body. If men can do it, women might end up like men if they exercise the same level as men does.

This theory is not true. It’s true that exercise can develop muscles even in the bodies of women but gaining muscles for women is not very easy. Even men will have a hard time in developing muscles if they don’t stick to a highly controlled diet. For professional body builders, women and men alike, they have to follow a strict diet. That diet is not only good for fat loss but also in adding calories a little bit and use them for muscle development. It will take nutritionists, dietitians and professional trainers to control them and get those professionals the muscle they really wanted.

For women or just like any others who wanted to lose weight, our diet doesn’t consist of adding calories. We even shun from the idea of adding calories in our body. Because of this, developing really huge muscles especially for women is highly unlikely.

We will eventually develop muscles as we continue our exercise. But these muscles are not the really big ones. For men, they can develop into something really big since they already have the body or even the fat to accommodate the carbohydrates that are developed into muscles. As a women, you really don’t need to think about inadvertently building the very big muscles since the women’s body can only develop the fast that are already there. Plus, our diet is not the really complicated the ones. Our low calorie diet makes it even impossible for our body to increase the muscles. On the other hand, we’ll be assured that we’ll be developing enough muscles to burn the calories in our body.

If you’re really concerned about developing muscles, you should stick to low impact aerobic exercises. Walking is definitely one of them and perfect for you. This type of exercise may give you muscles to your feet but that’s about it. A 30 minute to an hour walk will do wonders to your body. Just expect that the effect should not be visible for at least a month. But eventually you’ll be getting the weight that you want and just enough muscles to help you keep the excess calories off your body
