Women should not avoid Strength Training

If you are a regular at the gym then you would notice that there are more men than women.   It is because that more women don’t want to bulk up since most of them believe that they would gain more muscles if they would lift weights and that is something that they want to have.   Men want to gain more muscles, but a woman doesn’t dream of gaining big muscles since they won’t look attractive the other sex.   However, that is the misconception as women can’t grow as big as that of men. 

Is there a difference between the exercises of men versus women?

The answer here is definitely yes since the two aren’t made exactly alike.  Men tend to grow bigger than women.  The latter can’t grow as big as men since it has something to do with the level of testosterone present in men.  While women do also have testosterone, the count is not as big as that of men.   

Exercise is created, so that we can become healthy and not just to improve our looks.  And women doing heavy lifting would not have the same result as that of a man since their bodies aren’t the same.   Men are created bigger than women and no exercise can change that. Of course, we see some body builders with an oversize muscles because they are using some form of drug to help them bulk-up.   And those drugs could also have the same effect to women, who want to bulk-up.  But, women just doing some heavy lifting won’t have a bulky muscle; instead they would have a very sexy body because that is the composition of the body.

At the end of the day, both men and women are just created the same.  Actually, women should do more strength training since they are the ones that are always gets harassed on the streets.   If they are stronger, then they could easily fend off any attack against them.   Aside from that, there are other reasons why women should engage in strength training such as:

1.  Strength training helps people to lose weight – Women like to be thin since that is what attractive to the opposite sex.   If you have muscles then you would lose fat whether you are doing something or not.  Muscle burns calories and it would help you to become sexier. 
2.  It build strength – Being stronger allows you to do things that you aren’t able to do before.  Simple things like opining a jar or lifting your kid won’t be a problem for you anymore. 
3.  Increased blood circulation – This would make you more attractive as there would be less cellulite on the bum and thighs. 
4.  Balanced physique – one of the most common problems of most women is that they don’t have a proportioned body.  They have a bigger lower body compared to their upper body and strength training can help them to balance this.
5. Strength training increase bone density and decreases joint pressure – Not only that women, who engage in such activity would be less of a risk to injury, but they could also lower the risk of having Osteoporosis from occurring.
