I have this all the time….working out so hard I cant walk after I get off the treadmill!!!

I could barely walk back to my room, if that counts? my legs, and my whole body, are stillll sore.

Everytime… every step up to my house is hell, but I love that feeling!

“In this day and age of health and fitness, women everywhere know the benefits of strength training. We all know that thrice weekly strength training sessiosn can improve our fat loss benefits, bone density, metabolism, and self-esteem. And I want to cheer all the women around the world who have stepped away from their mega-marathon cardio sessions and adopted this new way of thinking in the gym. You are on the right track! But now I want to encourage you to take it one step further.

Yes, ladies put down those 5 pound weights and instead pick up some heavier ones! That’s right, we are talking the 15 pounders, 20 pounders and even 25 pounders. The very thought of this may be scaring some of you away and believe me I was in that same group a few years ago. I have been a religious gym-goer for years-namely since my 20′s. And believe me when I say I have tried it all from cardio classes to step to turbo kick-box, but the one thing I always shied away from was lifting heavier weights.

Like many woman out there, I was under the impression that it would bulk me up too much. I carried this belief with me for years and it took me a long time to change my mind about this myth. Quite honestly, I can’t really recall when the shift happened….I suppose it was a gradual one, but either way, it has changed the way I approach my fitness, my training, and the look of my body. And now I am firm believer. I lift heavier weights and I like it. I notice a ton of benefits too. I am firmer, more toned, leaner, thinner and stronger. All plusses in my book. For those of you who still need some convincing here are 5 more reasons why you should lift heavier during your workouts.

• It promotes more calorie burning. The more muscle you have the more fat you burn. 
• It is a better use of your time at the gym. Or in the other words, you can more bang for buck. 
• It is measurable and easy to track your performance. 
• It makes you feel strong and confident. 
• You will have stronger bones. 

And if you are still on the fence, I encourage you to do some research on your own.” - Jenn Fitzpatrick
