PFB: Do Women really want to build muscle?

BH: Women should build muscle because the muscle actually makes you smaller and leaner!!  I actually weigh 145 pounds, however I am a size 2-4!  Muscle weighs 3 times more than fat!  Muscle is the furnace of the body & speeds up your metabolism.

BH: Las mujeres deber�an trabajar sus m�sculos porque  estos te hacen ver mas peque�a y delgada!!  Actualmente yo peso 54 Kilogramos y soy talla 2-4.  ��Los m�sculos pesan tres veces mas que la grasa!!  El m�sculo es el quemador de tu cuerpo y acelera tu metabolismo.
