Reason #1Increase Self-Confidence and “See What You’re Made Of”

Getting stronger in the weight room is an incredible way to boost your self-confidence.

Once you strength train consistently it's likely that this newfound realization of your physical abilities in the weight room will carry-over into everyday

life.

As you get stronger and see what you're truly capable of doing, you'll discover how strong

(physically AND mentally) you truly are.

Reason #2Build the Body You REALLY Want

Page 6: 8 Incredible and Indisputable Reasons Women Should Strength Train

Exclusively performing hours and hours of cardio each week is NOT the best way to build a lean and

strong body.

If your goal is to "tone-up", lose body fat, and have some rockin' feminine curves, you need to strength

train.

Reason #3Strength Training Allows You to Set Positive, Motivating Goals

When you're in the gym, your mission is not to burn as many calories or as much fat as possible. Set

performance-based goals that keep you motivated.

Examples of performance-based goals include: being able to perform 10 push-ups, achieving your

first bodyweight chin-up, squatting your bodyweight, and other similar goals that are

exclusively strength and performance focused.

What are The OTHER Benefits to Performance-Based Goals?

You achieve the aesthetic goals you're after, only this way they become a side-effect.

You'll actually ENJOY the process because you'll be motivated by seeing what you're body is capable of

DOING instead of obsessing over how it looks.

Reason #4Strength Training as a Form of Stress Relief

If you've had a rough day at work, few things can be as beneficial as lifting a heavy barbell or busting

out a challenging set of bodyweight exercises to blow off steam.

The next time you're anxious or need to expel some energy, hit the gym and improve your performance from your previous workout.

This is a great, and productive, way to alleviate stress.

Reason #5Leading by Example for the Younger Women in Your Life

Training for strength, improving your health, and being proud of what your body CAN DO sets a

terrific example for the younger women in your life.

Becoming a stronger, more awesome version of yourself spreads a terrific message to the younger

women who look up to you. Show them how to choose strength and being the most awesome version of themselves over dieting and constantly trying to “be less” (e.g. weighing

less, eating less, etc).

Reason #6Because Other Methods for

Building a Better Body Have Failed

There's a good chance you've tried several other ways to lose fat and build the body you want. Many

popular programs are too time consuming and leave you exhausted.

Forget the fads and gimmicks. Improving your performance and getting stronger

through a sound strength training program will help you achieve

the results you want.

And even better - you‘ll maintain the results you achieve long-term.

Reason #7Prevent Diseases Such as

Osteopenia and Osteoporosis

Most women work out because they want to look better. While there's nothing wrong with this (we all

want to look great!), there are additional health benefits to strength training that must not be

ignored.

Sure, thinking about improving your bone health may not be a sexy topic, but it's crucial to

improving and maintaining a high quality of life, especially as you get older.

Reason #8Bring Out, and Become,

the Best YOU Possible

Sure, building a great looking body you love is important. But perhaps the best benefit to strength

training is that it allows you to become the most awesome version of yourself

possible.

Don't be afraid to discover YOUR unique strengths and abilities and capitalize on them. Make the most

of what you’re naturally good at doing.
