I remember when I started at a women's only gym in my teens, there was an instructor who advised me to get into circuit training and not just do cardio. She said a lot of women worry that if they lift weights they'll get bulky, but that it just doesn't happen. She basically said that if you see a bulky woman, she's using steroids. Period. Now I don't know whether that's always true, or whether the instructor was generalizing, but what she said certainly stuck with me and I've always thought it's something women ought to be taught about our bodies: we can be strong without looking like men.

No, I think she's right. I know lots of women who lift and work out on a regular basis and none of them are bulky. They've got defined musculature and aren't stick thin but you wouldn't necessarily be able to guess that most of them lift if you just looked at them. The only places I have any real visible muscle definition are my upper arms and my calves, and even so it's not immediately obvious unless you're looking for it because they're not disproportionate to the rest of my body.
