Contrary to popular belief, strength training is not about bulging biceps but fitness
Its heartening to see that more and more women, young and not so young are venturing in the free weight section of the gym nowadays. Earlier most of the female members would just stick to the cardio machines and would derisively be labelled “Cardio Queen”, “Cardio Bunny” etc. But now, I regularly see female trainees loading the bar, squatting and deadlifting too. Positive women role models in the media have really helped to bring about this change! But, the myths still persist. As a trainer, I have to reassure my female clients that lifting weights is good for them and they would not turn in to a female version of Arnold Schwarzenegger just by adding strength training!
