7 Reasons Why Strength Training For Females Is Essential

Having worked with hundreds of women over the past 20 years I have seen the constant struggles many females face when it comes to getting in great shape. While it is difficult for all of us to achieve great physical fitness it is fair to say the female population has a much more difficult road to take. From complex hormonal systems, to hyper-mobility, an anatomical structure that compromises stability, it can be difficult to enjoy exercise and fitness activities. When you add on top of this the constant body shaming, Instagram comparisons and belief that smaller is better, it is no wonder many women are turned off from trying to improve their health and fitness. I believe the community needs to understand just how important exercise and eating well is for women, and the dangerous risks to their health if they don’t. For while women tend to live longer than men, their quality of life is often diminished significantly due to several health factors. In this article, I discuss these factors and share some great information about female health and the things you can do to achieve great physical health.
