Great blog post on weight lifting for women.

6. “No one says you have to crazy with it! You don’t have to lift a ton to reap the benefits of weight lifting!” Having watched several bodybuilders and fitness competitors go through their training, I can tell you that those girls have to work really, really hard to get that muscular. It’s highly unlikely you’re going to get to that stage of muscularity on accident. Plus, it’s your workout! If you feel like you’re getting “too big” then scale it back

    Thanks for the share! This is so awesome!!! Now that people are starting to notice my arms and legs taking on new shapes from lifting, I'm beginning to get some of these questions :)
