Simple reasons why women need weight training!!

[Sassy69]

Well, I don't want to get big. I just want to lose some weight and tone up.

I'm doing hi reps, low weights (as she slides the 5 lb plates on the leg press).

I don't want to sweat.

Does my outfit match?

I could never lift THAT much - I don't want to get big (see above)

But I eat ALL low fat foods!

Oatmeal?? YUK! I have coffee for breakfast.

I usually just have some salad with lite dressing.

I'd like the quarter pounder w/ cheese & fries, super size it, ... and a Diet Coke.

he he, i got a reply on the beauty board where i re-posted the above article. the girl said, of course, she has been thinking about weight training but was worried about getting bulky so she said after reading it she was motivated to start lifting!!

It's good for women who are in the health profession to remain in shape and weight training especially when you have to transfer or move or lift people.

Fitness Tip - Why Women Need Weight Training

9. It Will Work No Matter How Old You Are. Westcott has successfully trained numerous women in their 70s and 80s, and studies show that strength improvements are possible at any age. Note, however, that a strength training professional should always supervise older participants.

If anyone doubts this, they should take a look at the divine Ms. Christa Bauch, who became a real, competitive BB in her 40s. She looks grrrrreat! She took 5th place in the Jan Tana Comp, in 1995, when she was 48!

It's never too late to look and feel great.
