The most common falsehood I hear even on these forums several times is that women do not want to lift weights because they thing they will get bulky. This is not possible, your women, you can't get bulky without the aid of pharmaceuticals. Lifting weight will tone the muscle but it will not make it big. The toned muscle will burn more fat.

I recently came across a great article from a mother of 4 that can explain it better than I can and has been down that road before.

So many people today and some right here on this site want things the easy way. They want to lose weight but then they give up after a month they do not see changes, they want to bulk up but they do not want to break a sweat. Some people give excuses, like it is too difficult or I have problems doing that or they whine. I usually do not say anything even though it bugs the crap out of me, but not today.

I typically do not blog or write things. Especially about my workouts when I am in the gym I am there for a specific purpose to work out. I typically do not talk to anyone during the workout. After though I will like in the locker room or sauna or whirl pool. However I figured maybe I could use my blog to express my thoughts and feelings and things that go through my head when I am working out.

Tonight I bit my tongue and worked out mad. Very angry at many of the people in the health club. Normally people in the health club tick me off slightly by doing the usual things like not putting their weights away, horsing around sitting on equipment chatting away but not lifting. This is usually limited to the one or two offenders and typical to be expected to be done by those less considerate of others. Tonight I was mad at almost everyone in the gym and almost furious.
