There are so many outdated myths about weight training.

I have made it my mission to let women know just how practical weight training is.

Lifting weights might begin as an aesthetic goal, but after a while, you realise it’s a lot more than that.

Building strength and muscle help you build self-confidence and assurance.

I could barely lift my weight when I started training, and a chin-up was out of the question.

However, it was one of my goals to perform at least one.

Slowly as I built my strength, I started hitting these goals, giving me a sense of empowerment.

My lack of physical strength no longer limited me. As I kept lifting heavier weight, I strengthened my self-belief.

It provides many more benefits than just toning and shaping your body.
