LADIES!
Are you afraid of building muscle?
One of the biggest things I hear from women when we talk about strength training is that they want to get toned, but they don’t want to get bulky.
But if you want that “toned” look, you actually NEED muscle.
Building muscle also isn’t just about how you look.
Think about the who you want to be at 60, 70, or 80 years old.
Do you want to be able to carry your own groceries?
Put your suitcase in the overhead compartment?
Get yourself up off the floor?
Travel, hike, play with your grandkids, and continue doing the things you love?
You need strength for that.
And you’re not going to accidentally get too bulky just because you started lifting weights.
Building significant muscle takes a LOT of time and intentional effort.
So instead of constantly trying to get smaller, I want to see more women thinking about getting stronger.
Because we’re not just building muscle for how we want to look today.
We’re building it for the life we want to live 20 or 30 years from now.
I wrote a new blog post about why strength training is so important for women and how to get started if lifting weights still intimidates you.
