1. “I don’t want to build muscle, I just want to look toned.”
Seriously? What is “toned”? Where do you think “toned” comes from? The magical “toned” tree?
2. “Don’t you worry about getting big muscles?”
Frankly, if I’m going to spend an hour a day lifting my own bodyweight, I’d worry if I didn’t. Bigger muscles are kind of, um, the point.
3. “I don’t like muscly women.”
That’s cool, bro, cos we don’t like you.
4. “If you stop lifting, your muscles will turn into fat.”
Let me say this once. Sandwiches do not “turn into” unicorns. Rocks do not “turn into” amphibious landing vehicles. And muscle does not “turn into” fat.
5. “Girls shouldn’t lift more than 3 pounds or they’ll get bulky.”
Should probably put that sack-sized handbag down then, girlfriend. Yes, I’m looking at you, Tracy Anderson.

6. “Aren’t you scared of looking like a man?”

7. “Don’t get too muscly!”
