Strength training involves lifting weights on bars and using resistance devices to contract and build muscle in response. There are great results experienced by those who participate in weight resistant exercises and unfortunately some misunderstandings that hopefully this article will resolve.

The Myths:
- Lots of women think that resistance training is exercise for men and that they don’t have the physical strength to successfully train in this way. This is false, almost everyone is suitable for resistance training, no matter what sex they are.
- Another misguided theory is that weight training will result in women having huge, manly muscles. This is highly unlikely. Weight training will make women’s muscles long and lean. Women are unable to produce enough male hormones to develop huge muscles. Women probably get this idea from photographs of female bodybuilders who may make use of pills and take a a long time, training for competitions. By doing average weight training work outs regular women will never reach this level of muscle mass.
- It is assumed that aerobic and cardiovascular exercise is more productive then weight training due to the greater amount of calories burned when in reality, by gaining one pound of muscle through weight training, 50 more calories are burned daily. weight resistance exercise enhances your body’s calorie burn rate… even when you’re doing nothing.
