Myth #1: Strength Training Makes You Bulky

Fact: Nope! Most women don't have the hormones to bulk up like men. Instead, you’ll achieve a lean, toned look!

Myth #2: Cardio Is Better for Weight Loss

Fact: While cardio is great, strength training helps build muscle, boosting your metabolism and helping you burn more calories even at rest.

Myth #3: Strength Training Is Dangerous for Women Over 40

Fact: Strength training is actually fantastic for women over 40! It helps maintain muscle, bone density, and balance. With the right guidance, it’s super safe and effective.

Myth #4: Lifting Heavy Weights Is Only for Athletes

Fact: Strength training is for everyone! The key is to challenge yourself appropriately and focus on good technique.

Myth #5: Machines Are the Best for Results
