The weight room isn’t just for muscle-bound meat head guys anymore!  It’s not uncommon to see the ladies pumping iron along with the guys, however unfortunately women still compromise a very small percentage of serious weightlifting fanatics.  While there’s tons of workout gear and gym clothes brands that target the female demographic, it takes more than a cute pair of pink gym gloves for women to motivate more the ladies to incorporate more weightlifting workouts into their routine.

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, only about 20% of women who regularly go to the gym incorporate weight lifting or strength training.

Even though more and more women are understanding the benefits of weightlifting, the same myths seem to be prevalent among the ladies.

• I don’t want to get big and bulky.

Females don’t have the natural hormones to “bulk up” like guys do.  The average women who lifts weights is going to see an increase in endurance, strength, and tone… not bulk.

• I want to lose weight so I need to do cardio.

Not entirely true.  Cardio queens are the girls who strap themselves to cardio machines for an hour at a time to “burn fat.” While they may physically be smaller, often times they still have a higher than desirable bodyfat percentage.  One of the best benefits of weightlifting is that the effort you exert for that hour don’t end when you get home.  Your body needs energy to build muscle, and the more muscle you have the higher your resting metabolic rate.  So cut down on the cardio, grab a pair of pink gym gloves for women and start getting comfortable with the free weight room.

• I don’t feel comfortable in the weight room.

No problem.  You can gain the benefits of weightlifting using the weight machines as well. In fact, if you’re new to lifting it might be a good idea to start there until you’re more confident with the exercises.  The best idea is to get a session or two with a personal trainer who can demonstrate proper form and technique.
