Krysta is probably responsible for more women lifting to exhaustion than any other blogger. I'm out of shape after a workoholic summer, but the only thing that can get me back to my college weight (and better, figure-wise) is lifting heavy. Plus, it's fun. The only good reason I've ever come up with that women may avoid lifting is to avoid the child-men preening and BS-ing in the free weights area of every gym. Which I can relate to.

Strength training is often overlooked by women who think they are going to get bulky. However strength training is a very important part of a weight loss and an exercise program. Muscle is metabolically active tissue and needs energy to sustain itself. This leads to an increased metabolism, which can help get you over a plateau. An increase in metabolism is especially important for anyone past their 20's. We all lose muscle mass as we age which causes a drop in metabolism over time. This can not be prevented, but can be slowed down with strength training. This post says it all!! Strength training is often overlooked by women who think they are going to get bulky.
