Myths Surrounding Women's Fitness
Common misconceptions about women's fitness often create barriers to effective training methods. Many women fear that lifting weights will make them bulky, largely due to the belief that they might gain significant muscle mass as men do. However, women have different hormonal profiles, with estrogen being less potent than testosterone when it comes to muscle growth, which makes it quite challenging for women to build bulk. It's essential to shift the narrative to focus on the benefits of resistance training, which can enhance muscle tone and support overall health without the fear of excessive bulk.
