For a 5’3″ woman weighing 150 lbs, it means you’re at the upper end of “normal.” You’re not obese, but you’re not skinny either. You have a healthy BMI and should be able to maintain this weight without much trouble.
Now that you know what your body type is, let’s talk about how it affects your workout routine.
You’re probably not going to be able to lift as much weight as someone who’s taller or heavier than you unless you want to sacrifice form for size. If your goal is to increase muscle mass, then go for it! Just make sure that you’re using proper form and getting plenty of rest between workouts.
If your goal is to get leaner, then do more cardio and keep track of your food intake. If you don’t see results after a few weeks of hard work in the gym, then try changing up your diet or adding more workouts.
