Workout Wednesday! Who Says Women Can't Lift and Be Sexy?!

Workout Wednesdays are back, and this one is for the ladies out there!  A very popular fitness myth is that if women lift weights, they will gain a lot of muscle and beef up just like the guys.
The truth is that, unless you're taking steroids, you will not.  The reason: the primary muscle-building hormone known as testosterone (you know, that one that makes guys act all macho and stuff) simply isn't as high in women as it is in men.  As a result, you will not beef up like Arnold in Terminator. 
What you will achieve though is a sexy, toned and athletic look.  Plus you will also be able to do some pretty cool stuff, like the girl in this video here.  She's doing a renegade row (a full body exercise that puts special emphasis on the back to pull the weights from the floor to your torso; and the abdominals which are used to help brace your body), and she's rowing TWO 32 kg (about 71 pound) kettlebells.  And she's doing it on an incline, which is even harder!

And check out how toned and sexy she is!

This is proof positive: ladies, if you want to really get that athletic look that men just swoon over...hit the weights.  Just do it.  It'll make us push ourselves to work harder in the gym (and maybe lose that beer belly!)
