Often women fear strength training because they don’t want to look “bulky” or “muscular” or “manly”. The truth is, women do not have the hormonal set up to look bulky or muscular or manly.
Muscle development is stimulated by testosterone, commonly known as the male hormone. Women do not secrete testosterone. Hence, it is physiologically impossible for women to become bulky or muscular or manly. They can only become leaner.
What strength training surely does is -
Stimulates fat burning
Improves bone density and strength of joints
Improves muscle tone and gives you a leaner look
Increases overall strength and stamina
Stimulates haemoglobin formation by increasing blood circulation
Reduces hormonal imbalance and and period troubles
Stimulates neurogenesis, thereby sharpening the brain
Increases cardiac muscle strength, thereby improving heart health
Promotes insulin sensitivity and keeps blood sugars in control
Reduces stress by releasing endorphins or “happy hormones”
