Women And Weights- The Most Under-Estimated Way To Lose Weight Fast!
Walk into any gym today and you will see countless numbers of women lifting tiny dumbbells or doing hundreds of squats or lunges on the spot with no weights. They certainly won't be straining or working up much of a sweat and they certainly won't be forcing their body to build or even maintain their current level of muscle mass. It is very unfortunate that many gyms still advocate light weight training for women under the mistaken assumption that this will tone them up without giving them bulky muscles.
