Strength training can help you achieve your ideal body shape
This week we’re looking at working out with weights in the gym. I’m an avid weightlifter and love strength training for many reasons.
It helps develop stronger bones and muscle which, especially as we get older, promotes good posture as well as burning calories.
It is an important point to make at this stage that, as a female, strength training will not make you look beefy and you won’t bulk up, which is something many women fear.
In fact, strength training can instead make you feel and look lean and toned, as well as strong. Being toned is about developing muscle and reducing body fat, yet some women are still reluctant to take up strength training in order to change their body shape because of the perception it may make them stocky.
