Building muscles can be tricky, especially if you're a girl. The most important thing to do if you want to build muscles is to find a form of exercise that helps you build muscle (instead of just burning fat), eat foods that help your muscles grow, and to take care of your body. Any girl can build muscles with enough determination.
