    It's 50/50 in my gym as I have a home gym and it's just me and my husband. Our twins join us too sometimes boy/girl so still 50/50. Can't get the oldest in there that would make the females a minority but I don't think that will happen.

    You look amazing! I love lifting but can only do so at work in our little gym. But have maxed out on the little weights they have there. Trying to save up for a bench, bar and some weights. Great job!!!

    Your body looks great, but I also wanted to say that you have a very beautiful face. I think you have a resemblance to Jurnee Smollett.

    I want to do weights for my stomach. Any tips

    The only weighted ab exercises I do are russian twists & side bends. Everything else I just use my own body weight if necessary.

    I'm definitely not an expert. So I would recommend going to Bodybuilding.com they have lots of different lifting routines you can follow, along with videos on how to perform each exercise correctly. That's where I started out.

    yeah i've never understood the myth that if you lift for a couple months you'll look like chyna from wwe, if it was that easy a lot more dudes would be buff. healinghearts i would do pullups and dumbbell bench press those seem to have strengthened my core muscles quite a bit though if you're looking for abs it's as much a lack of stomach fat as it is strong stomach muscles.

    I actually at one point became scared of weights because I felt like I was getting bigger. But it was just muscle + extra fat. Now that I am leaning out, I am loving how I look.
