Women Lifting

Ok. I need to get this off of my chest. Oprah had a segement with Gwyenth Palthrow and her trainer. Her trainer said that women should not use any dumbell more than three pounds. Really??? That is so ridiculous. Oprah needs to bring Valerie Waters on next. She trains a lot of models and celebrities in Hollywood. I guarantee her take is a little different.

Lets be clear. Lifting weights will not make you big and bulky ladies, that fourth cookie will.

Anyway, here is a good article about women lifting along with a bunch of videos of normal women staying in shape and not bulking up.

Be forewarned. The author is a little crass.

3 pounds. Wow. He's probably just making Oprah's audience feel better since they a bunch of fat housewives.
