Throughout my bodybuilding journey, a very minimal amount of women weight training at a high level.

By high level, I mean it’s not your typical bodybuilder standard — but women who prioritise weight training to stay strong, maintain their body shape and build muscle.

When I was in my 20s, it never occurred to me that lifting weight may play an important role in increasing my health.

Instead, I falsely believed that cardio was the only way to go. That began to change in my late 20s and early thirties when I decided an athletic and strong body was my calling.

I’m glad I made that transition, and I’ve tried my damndest to get other women to follow!

As women, our bodies undergo many complex hormonal shifts, which never seem to end. I’m thinking about this much more after my hysterectomy and the lead-up to menopause.
