There are so many reasons why women should lift weights, but I’ll just share some TOP reasons:

*Lifting makes us more toned. Even if we “gain” weight, we look smaller! (so no, lifting won’t make you bulk, ladies)

*You burn more calories during your CARDIO workouts if you have more muscle!

*You burn more FAT if you have more muscle!

*Muscle is the fountain of youth … go get you some! 

My favorite lifting workouts: ChaLEAN extreme, Body Beast, and the 21 Day Fix Extreme
