In the past, women were heavily discouraged out of building too much muscle. There seemed to be a very clear image of what a “proper” woman should look like, and the word “bulky” had very little to do with that image. But times are a-changing, and today’s world is a lot more body-positive, which encourages many young and older women to go into weight training.
If you’re one of those women, welcome aboard! But before you start bulking up, there are some important tips to keep in mind in order to keep safe and make the best out of your workout.
On her viral YouTube video, How To Start Weight Training For Women, personal trainer and founder of The STRONG Curves Program, Shelly Darlington, shares important guidelines for any female who wants to start weight training.
