While strength training has traditionally been a male activity, over the last twenty years increasing numbers of women have taken to it in gyms and health clubs around the world with increasing enthusiasm. The benefits of strength training with weight machines and free weights for women should not be underestimated.
Although large muscles tend not to be one of the acquisitions women get from weight training, fat loss, increased strength, balance and bone density are. These benefits act as a buffer against the onset of osteoporosis and other age and lifestyle related afflictions.
Over the last decade, researchers have made extremely compelling arguments for the benefits of strength training for women; still, the number of women who take this recommendation to heart is still quite low. Most women who exercise are spending most of their gym time on cardio activity such as walking, jogging or cycling. Whatever your reasons for avoiding this health building exercise regime.
