There is a commonly held phobia that weight lifting will make a woman look like a man. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Weight lifting can make a man look more like a man, but it also makes a woman look more like a woman. The idea that women should look like nothing but skin and bones is absolutely wrong, and weight lifting will not make a woman become massively muscular either. Weight lifting helps to shape a woman and give her a better figure.
It’s sad that these kinds of ideas and rumors have become so prevalent in the world today. It’s as if society has dictated that women must become unhealthily skinny to be attractive.
The truth is that most women are suffering from a lack of muscle. Many of them suffer from the pains of having a weak body, lack of energy, and difficulty lifting moderately heavy objects in every day life.
Building muscle helps women to keep fat levels down without having to starve themselves skinny. All of the benefits of weight lifting that I mention throughout this site apply just as much to women as they do to men.
If you’re a woman and afraid that lifting will make you look like a man, here are 5 reasons why you don’t need to worry:
- First off, you’re not a man: Plain and simple. You won’t look like a man (more…)
