Another week of Fitness! Do you lift weights?

If you are into fitness weight training should definitely have a role in your work outs. There are tonnes of great benefits to lifting weights.

A huge myth with lifting weights is that you will start to look like a bodybuilder, that you will gain bulk muscle. That may just be an insult to body builders! They do a lot more than add a 5 lbs dumbbell to their workout routine. They also have a special diet that aids in building a shit tonne of muscle.

Besides the fact that the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn at rest, lifting weights increases bone density: If you are in you 20s or 30s this may not matter too much, but it would be great to take care of your bones before they may become an issue.

Not convinced? Check out the following link for more information on weight lifting for women.

If you have read my blog at all you know that I am passionate about being comfortable in your own skin. You will also know that it is a great peeve of mine that weight is the end all and be all of fitness. I’m not against fitness, eating healthy, or being active. I just don’t think that being healthy means being skinny, or that being fat means unhealthy.

That being said I have recently been inspired to kick up my fitness routine! I am going to able to catch up with my son as he gets older and not have to pound back coffee to do it.
