Should Women Start Lifting Weights?

One of the most important exercises women should do is to start lifting weights. But women are scared they will bulk up. Women should not be afraid to lift weight because women don't have a lot of the male hormone testosterone that cause men to get bulky and gain lots of muscle mass. I believe this fear/myth comes from the fact that bodybuilding women use steroids to gain those huge muscles, they never would have gained just lifting weights alone.  If you are a woman who has trouble with belly fat, lifting weights will definitively help you to lose fat in the belly and all over the body with out the bulk.



When a person start lifting weights, woman or man, their metabolism rises causing you to burn more body fat in the long run. Lifting weights causes you to burn calories even while you are sleeping. Muscles uses less space in the body than fat and burns more calories than fat. Lifting weights makes women look slimmer even if the scale doesn't show it. The key for women to lose weight is to lift enough weights to get the slim knockout figure you desire.

There are way too many myths and hype of about fitness and weight loss, some which have been around for years. These myths such as the one about "women lifting weights makes them bulky" actually hurts people who need the truth about weight loss. Then one of the biggest myths, 1000 crunches gets you a beautiful set of abs, causes men and women to waste too much time when they can just simply add weights to their fitness routine. My advice to anyone who wants to lose weight, don't believe the hype, myths, and lies. They will cause you to retain the body fat. And a word to all the women who are afraid of lifting weights, don't be afraid! Start lifting weight now especially if you want a beautiful beach body.
