Don’t roll your eyes — it’s one of my favourite topics to write about yet again!

These posts are primarily aimed at women — I don’t have to pitch this concept to men very much — but they are always a good read.

Women need a bit more time and perhaps a little research to back up the importance of this exercise.

What I’m trying to tell you and everyone that will listen just how vital weight training is.

Perhaps you didn’t know this one key thing about muscles — they come in different sizes and various colours, ranging from white, red and shades.

Much like those pieces of artwork you see all over social media.

Red muscles get their colour partly from mitochondria and are found in people who engage in endurance training like marathon running.

White muscles dominate the bodies of weight lifters and sprinters because we require short, intense bursts of energy.
