Your ass will look fantastic

Your body composition will change

Your bones will be stronger

Your heart will be healthier

Your body will become more defined

But more important than any physical change that will come from weightlifting is the MENTAL change. Because ladies, lifting weights is one of the most empowering activities you can engage in.

As women, we’re conditioned to want to be smaller. To be more petite, meek, submissive, quiet, polite. To take up less space, physically and figuratively.

Weightlifting will increase the size of your thighs and your presence. It will make you stronger, more confident, more appreciative of your body. It will make you feel powerful, sexy, self assured, and LARGE AND IN CHARGE.

So to my beautiful ladies: please lift weights and don’t be afraid to get bigger. Don’t be afraid to take up more space.
