How to convince my wife that working out won't make her arms huge?

Asked by bones_johannsen (13points) December 23rd, 2010

My wife is fairly slim and petite but says she wants to lose some weight and tone up a bit.

I’ve told her I would show her how to lift weights because one of the places she’s concerned about is the back of her upper arms, which are a bit flabby.

But she’s afraid she’s going to become big and muscley like me.

She has pointed out some famous women who work out and I agree that their arms do look big.

What should I tell her?
