No worries, antojak You don't need to fear squats or lunges. They are excellent exercises because they work the biggest muscle groups in your body, the glutes and quads. This will in turn rev up your metabolism to burn off fat. By not exercising these large muscles, you are cheating yourself horribly!

Bulking up takes lifting very heavy weights and consuming excess calories on the order of 3000-5000 per day. It also takes several weeks to add just a few pounds of quality muscle - and that's for a male. Women have even greater difficulty gaining muscle. So you simply don't need to worry about that!

In any event, I suspect that even if you were intentionally bulking muscle, fat loss due to increased metabolism would *more* than compensate for it. For what it's worth...
