Should women use weights?

[Anonymous]

Do you think its ok for women to lift weight, my partner reckons no one would want to be with a girl who does weights and they should just use treadmill etc at the gym but i just want to feel better in myself and me lifting weights does that☹️

Yes, I’ll tell you this, it would be hard for the average woman to lifts some weight and end up looking like cbum.
Don’t be scared of weights. Cardio is good for if you want to lose weight but you’ll have little to no muscle and your skin wouldn’t be great. Mixing intense cardio with weights will help you get a good physique.
Personally I love using weights and noticing myself getting stronger and stronger is very rewarding.
Also, this guy sounds like a loser. There are guys that are into bulky gym girls.

Why on Earth would that be a problem? I mean, I can see something finding a woman less attractive if she develops biceps like a bodybuilder, but it's not like the only choices are that or never touching a dumbbell.

Imagine, for a moment, that you're playing with your kids (which you have, in this imagining), and suddenly a piece of debris falls down on top of one, who starts screaming for help. Would you rather:

A. be strong enough to lift, or at least push, it off of them, or

B. be unable to, and so need to go get help, possibly harming and certainly terrifying them?

Yes, they should. Women gain many benefits from weight training, not only aesthetically, but also in terms of health, it helps increase bone density and thus prevent various ailments such as arthrosis and many others.

You will never become muscular, because a woman does not produce the same amount of testosterone as a man, but you can become very strong especially in multi-joint exercises if you train properly.

However, I love women who do weights and are physically strong

you kinda need to use weights to get toned. litterally every model & female celebrity uses weights. you just shouldn't use the heavy ones and need to be careful not go past a certain limit or else you'll start to look more than just toned. but it's hard to get to that point as a girl

Its definetly okay. This is what my body looks like after 3 years of weight training. you're not gonna get extremly muscular unless you take steroids. And most guys find it atractive.

It's all about preference

Most men tend to hate muscular women , of course not because it's intimidating or anything... because that's not feminine.. just like how most women hate men doing feminine things like makeup

I think he doesn't necessarily hate the act of you lifting weights

Lift the weights and drop the weight of your partner. You deserve someone who lifts you up and supports what you want to do with your body. Plenty of men love women who lift.

Most men don't care as long as you aren't doing to so much that you're getting a man body.

Your partner is an idiot. It's so hard for women to bulk up if he's afraid of you getting more swole than him maybe he should stop sucking at life so hard.
