Can I build more muscle being a woman? Without looking buff??
Question: I am 5'3, 125 pds, petite. Thin bones and I do NOT have thick muscle structure.
I want to, especially in my legs, hips area.
Looking for rounded, healthy, fuller hips and thick legs, possible? How? I eat every three hours and my protien intake is
atleast 80 grams a day. The rest is vegetable carbs and bad carbs. My daily supplements are Krill Oil, Chlorella, and a Multivitamin.
I weight train 3 days/week. Squats/leg presses/leg curls from
10 pds for Leg Curls and 30 pds for squats and leg presses.
Then I also do 10 minutes on the tredmill beforehand.
Note, I do need to get rid of some baby fat but would NOT like to lose wieght! Thanks for your help~
Answers: Yes, it is most assuredly possible for a female to build muscle mass without turning into a body-builder. Regular, intense swimming can develop the sort of long, smooth muscles you seem to want. I recommend you contact a local gym which can offer you expert advice about the best approach.
You already have a healthy diet, now add the physical development necessary to build the muscle mass and you'll be dyno-mite! :D

YES JUST GO REGALLY TO THE GYM; DO LIGHT WEIGHTS WITH MORE REPS AND RIDE A BIKE TO IMPROVE YOUR LEG MUSCLES. EAT LOADS OF MEAT, FISH AND CHICKEN.
SALADS, MILK, CHEESE, AND YOGURT. FRUIT, VEGETABLES AND BEANS AND LENTILS.

Try taking up cycling for your legs. In under three months, I gained an insane amount of muscle on my legs.. it's amazing. :)
Also, try the stairmaster at the gym, if you have it. That builds muscle on your legs and thighs as well, and makes your booty firmer.
you're on the right track, sounds like you need to kick up your strength training a bit. try to perform at least one exercise for all of your major muscle groups(chest, back, legs, arms shoulders, abs) 3-4 times per week on non-consecutive days. do 2-3 sets for each exercise and find a weight that challengers you for about 12 repetitions for your first set. for your second set add some weight(5lbs or so) and do 10 reps, then for your third set add another 5lbs and do 8 reps. this should help you see some results within a couple of weeks.
join a gym to do more with weights and run hills and do about 20 miles of cycling a week.
