I've loved lifting since I was in high school competing in volleyball, track and field events. There's nothing quite like the feeling you get when you've lifted more than you ever thought you could, when you can do more than one pull-up (let alone 50) and when you feel great after sprinting to catch the bus. it's liberating, empowering and fun; not to mention you burn calories when at rest when you regularly train. I think if more women didn't worry about "getting huge" (which is impossible w/out steroids) and realized all of the positive benefits of strength training they would be hard to keep out of the gym and away from the free weights! With great fitness role models like Cathe Friedrick and Sharon Mann I think this will happen more and more. Strength training for women is truly underrated.
