Why Weight Train?

Many women fear hitting the weights because they don't want to bulk up. The truth is most women don't have high enough testosterone for this to be possible. In fact, since muscles take less room than fat, women tend to lose inches when they strength train. There are also many physical benefits as well including an increased metabolism, decreased risk of osteoporosis and increased strength. As we age, we actually lose muscle, which increases our likelihood for injury and has an adverse impact on our metabolism which can lead to weight gain.
