13 Reasons Why Women Should Lift Weights

For women who workout, most use cardio equipment or engage in some other type of aerobic activity. But, very few women lift weights. The reason?

From the Editor

Like most women, I avoided lifting weights for years due to a fear of getting too big. But, I knew that strength training was beneficial. Thanks to my husband, who hired a personal trainer for me, I have been lifting weights for over 7 years. And, I’m happy to say I have better definition and wear the same dress size. This month I interview two personal training experts to shed light on why it makes sense for women to add weights to their work-out routine.

Cranberries and sweet potatoes are synonymous with the holidays but they don’t have to be. Buy fresh cranberries now, make your own cranberry sauce and freeze for later. Or, in 30 minutes, bake sweet potatoes and serve with chicken, fish or any meat. You’ll get addicted like I have!
