I’m going to tell you why women should lift weights because this is a great sport with a lot of opportunity for success.

You’re going to have an increased metabolism by weight lifting. This means that you’re going to have a more efficiently running body, that is a calorie burning machine.

You will also have strength that pushes into all areas of your life. Picking up bags or one of the children is no longer an energy zapping task, but an easy to do joy, that requires no energy and no second thoughts.

You will start dropping real fat. Often times when people try to lose weight, they’re really not losing that much fat. Some people predict that 75% of the loss is from lean body mass, rather than fat. When you’re lifting weights, your muscles become a fat consuming entity. You’ll have a more efficient fat loss, where you know that most of your weight loss is fat.

Lastly, you’re going to have the best night of sleep you’ve ever had. Sometimes I take week breaks now and then from weight lifting, and I can’t fall asleep. Often times when we go to bed, our body is still going. I guess that is what comes from sitting in a chair all day at work. Pounding weights at the gym will have you sleeping soundly all night.

This information should answer for you why women should lift weights. It’s a great way to stay in shape.
