Hello friends! In my today's post, I would like to talk about the attitude of our beautiful half of humanity to training with 'iron'

Looking back
I often recall the moment when, many years ago, in our exceptionally male rocking chair, where a woman's foot was, until that time she did not step, She appeared for the first time. Never before have I seen such an impeccable female figure. Perfectly round tight buttocks, long strong legs with developed quadriceps, which could be guessed even through tight sports pants, an absolutely flat stomach with a hint of 'cubes' and clearly delineated oblique abdominal muscles. In general, as the poet would say, she was divinely beautiful.
Since my idea of women engaged in power sports was limited at that time by vague images of severe shapeless weightlifters, and perhaps, also, by association with the heroine of the famous song 'Dusya Agregat', it's no wonder that tanned, puffing up health and some sort of ' then a crazy energy girl made a truly indelible impression on me.
All of our men's team, with a deftly indifferent look, was pacing around and glancing sideways how she performed gracefulness, worthy of a panther, squats with a weight that was only slightly less than my own working weight in the same exercise. She absolutely did not pay any attention to us and after working out her program disappeared as suddenly as she appeared.
Needless to say, the training was almost completely ruined, as the rest of the evening we spent not so much doing, as discussing the visit of our extraordinary guest. It was then that I suddenly realized for myself that girls training with iron surprisingly harmoniously combine the soft feminine beauty, strong primeval health and elegant power of mythical virgin warriors, and the presence of trained muscles adorns not only the male figure, but also repeatedly emphasizes sexuality female body.
The situation today
Since then, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge. It has long been considered that the exercises with the prerogatives of the prerogative of only the male part of the population, and in modern gyms, nobody is surprised by the presence of women. Moreover, recently there is a paradoxical situation, when the number of athletes almost exceeds the number of the training male contingent.
However, despite the laudable recognition of the full benefits of physical exercise, many women still cautiously refer to free weights, preferring them to 'safe' work on simulators and blocks or, at best, use very lightweight children's clothes as burdens dumbbells. They spend hours biking the pedals of an exercise bike, doing an infinite number of all kinds of swings and foot-keeping, zealously doing twists and inclinations, and spending a lot of time on many other, certainly not burdensome and comfortable, but unfortunately practically useless exercises.
Contrary to common sense and life experience that tells us that the shortest path to the goal is at the same time the heaviest, women like fire are afraid of the bar, voluntarily refusing the most powerful tool in building a beautiful figure and for years continue to make 'comfortable' exercises . Time goes by, and the results, if any, are so meager that it's not worth the time and financial investment.
Summing up the aforesaid, I would like to advise our dear ladies to drop all possible fears and not to give up training with 'iron.' The barbell and dumbbells are not able to turn you into a muscular monster, unless you use special pharmacological preparations, but can provide indispensable help in shaping the ideal figure, tone your muscles, burn excess fat and gain unlimited confidence. After all, it is quite logical that if the Creator has provided the musculature not only to men but also to women, then it (the musculature) should at least be developed, and not dangle on the bones with flabby bags.
