Have you ever consider yoga as an alternative to doing a strength training workout? Strength training is a great way to get in shape. Most people though probably don’t want the massive muscles that many bodybuilders tend to get when showing off in competitions. Most of us that have considered doing strength training would probably say that we are more concerned with feeling good about ourselves when putting on a swimsuit. We are not looking to build large masses of muscles as we see on the bodybuilder.

Most consumers don’t realize though that for the bodybuilder it takes a very strict regimen of workouts and eating lots of protein with little or no fat to have the bodies that they show off in competitions. People that want to maintain muscle mass or add a little tone or muscle strength can get this through using simple free weights. Alternate your strength training with some yoga or stretching exercises. If you do strength training and alternate your workout with yoga then there is little risk of bulking up too much.
You can gradually increase the weights as you work out over a period of time. Be careful though of not using too much weight at once because it easy to sprain a muscle and hurt yourself. Start out with a smaller weight such as five or ten pounds and after a few repetitions move up to the next level.
