Weight training is a term for a workout that uses weights. It could be
free weights, such as dumbells, kettlebells, and plates. Or it could be
with machines that have weights attached, such as a lat pulldown machine
or leg extension machine. It can be challenging for people who identify as
a woman to know where to begin with weight training. However, you can
focus on exercises and weights focused on women’s physiological makeup,
which can help with your strength training.
Often, women are not weight training because of lack of support, myths
about strength training, or confusion about where to begin. Fitness
centers are getting better at making the weights section accessible for
all, so women can reap the benefits of strength training.
