Light weights are for women and heavy weights are for men

I am sure you have all heard the stories: lifting heavy weights makes women look like men, it is dangerous, it's bad for your joints, and once you have muscle you can't stop lifting weights or it will all turn into fat. Let me tell you this is all complete bullshıt. The facts are that lifting weights does none of those awful things and millions of women and men are missing out one of the best forms of exercise which is most beneficial to our health, especially as we age. 
Although many people consider weight training only a means to add size, when contrasted head-to-head against cardiovascular exercise, resistance training comes out on top in the battle to burn the most calories. Unlike cardio, the huge advantage to weight training is your body's ability to burn fat during and after exercise.

"Light weights are for women and heavy weights for men"
This comment is probably one that annoys me the most and is usually made by men and women that clearly do not understand hypertrophy and male and female physiology.
First of all, a heavy load will create muscle tears, rebuilding and repairing muscle tears after your workout is what creates muscle definition and strength. Flailing away with smaller weights over and over will not create muscle strength.
Women produce only a fraction of the natural muscle-building hormone testosterone that men do. It is testosterone that is responsible for masculine traits like excess hair, deepening of voice, increase in muscle mass. Because females have less free testosterone than males at rest, any increase is not significant enough to actually allow for muscle hypertrophy to the extent of a male. 
Even serious female trainers with years of experience cannot build the bulky muscle you see on male bodybuilders. Of course any man or woman who injects themselves with testosterone or anabolic substances will super-enhance their muscular development, but that's well outside of what one can do naturally.

Why nutrition is so important!

Keep in mind, if you begin a weight-training program your muscles will begin showing definition within a few weeks. If you have a large layer of fat covering those muscles, you'll look and feel “big." Muscle mass increase in your body may happen faster than fat loss. That mass will take up space under the layer of fat and therefore will take longer for that muscle definition to show through the layers of fat.

This is why nutrition is so important with any exercise routine. Using your new weight-lifting routine as an excuse to order extra pizza is setting yourself up for failure. In a few weeks, you will quit because the scale will show a larger number and your clothes might be tighter, and you'll blame it all on weight training. If your diet is in check, your body fat will slowly reduce whilst you build muscle and the results will be that sleek sexy defined body you have always dreamed of.

So ladies it is time for you to put on those cute weight gloves, grab hold of some heavy weights and show those boys just how strong you can be.
