1: it’s the only way to build muscle

no, booty bands don’t do 💩 for building muscle mass. and neither do 2kg dumbells. if you want to build muscle, you need to lift some big weights. end of.

2. why build muscle?

muscle keeps us healthy (especially as women!). strength training improves bone density, regulates hormones, boosts metabolism. oh, and it’s muscle that gives our bodies that ‘toned’ look we are after.

3. progress & results

strength training helps us build lean muscle, and, if matched with the right nutrition, lose fat, too. This is something called ‘body recomposition’ - building muscle and losing fat at the same time. you might know this as ‘toning up’.

4. it’s fun & makes training enjoyable

I know plenty of women who hate cardio. I don’t know a single woman who has tried lifting and didn’t like it. it’s a gamechanger for those who thought they would never enjoy exercise. and enjoying your routine is what ensures you stick to it in the long run.
