Why Should Women Lift Heavy Weights?
I’m so glad you asked! And I’ve got three irrefutable reasons, although there are many more than what’s listed here.
1. Build Confidence
One of the perks of weight lifting is building self-confidence. My self-confidence has skyrocketed since I took up weight lifting and I want my clients to experience the same thing.
2. Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
Don’t fall victim to the fitness insanity trap and do the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Yes, lifting heavy weights may be intimidating at first, but if you want to get results other methods have failed to produce, you’ve got to get outside your comfort zone. Likewise, if you want to test and build your physical strength, you have to challenge yourself in new ways.
3. Build the Body You Really Want
Many of my clients come to me after trying other popular fitness methods that failed. They’ve done the whole “light weight for very high reps” thing, and they’ve most certainly put in their fair share of cardio, often to the tune of hours every week. But despite their efforts, they never get the body they really want - that lean, toned physique they so desire.
