Women Avoid Osteoporosis By Lifting Weights

Weight bearing exercise will build stronger bones and muscles. The most important thing when lifting weights is using the proper form. Lifting a lot of weight the wrong way can injure you, so learn the correct form. The most effective and time saving way of lifting weights is to lift as much weight as you can lift 6-8 times max. This will take less time and make your muscles work harder. More repetitions are good for toning up. Heavier weights will build bigger muscles. Women can not build upper body muscles big enough to look manly without testosterone or steroids. So don't worry about getting big upper body muscles. Lifting weights is a great way to prevent Osteoporosis. As we get older we lose muscle mass by about 1-2% per year, if we don't lift weights or exercise. At the same tome we gain fat. We may look like we are the same size as we were 20 years ago, but the percentage of muscle to fat will be different. So go pump some iron and you will be glad you did. You will look and feel better, and be stronger.
