Why we women need to lift weights

 

Hey boys and girls. I'm heading to the gym today and I've been trying to decide what I should work on. I haven't been doing much for weight lifting, and I know that it's SUPER important! In the process of researching some good workout routines for women, I found an awesome video that really explains why women should be doing strength training NOT just cardio.

So have a listen and if you have any questions feel free to ask away. 

 

5 Reasons Women should Lift Weights:

1. Increases your metabolism

2. Increases your lean muscle mass

3. Increases strength and flexibility

4. Decreases your risk for heart disease

5. Decreases your risk of Osteoporosis

Oh, and seriously ladies, DO NOT worry about getting bulky. Those body builder women you see have to take injections and all kinds of special treatments, foods, and drugs to get bulky like a man. Our bodies ARE NOT built the same. (We don't have the testosterone) So do your weight training!!!
