We all know that experts have already made dozen of extremely compelling arguments about the benefits of weight training for women. Despite that, not many women take these advices seriously. I visited quite a number of gyms and fitness centers and I could see very similar, almost identical picture everywhere I went.

Most women are spending most of their exercise time on cardio / exercise machines, and less time doing weight lifting exercises. Cardiovascular exercising has its place and benefits of course. But, if you desire great looking, sexy and healthy body please do take few minutes for this reading - you will benefit a lot.

However, you still need to find the right routine that will allow your body and mind to grow rather than doing the same old program mechanically which probably makes you stagnating more or less.

1) You will shape up and burn fat.
There are already dozen of scientific studies about how women body responds on resistance training. More or less they all show that average woman lifting weights 2-3 times a week will gain about 2-2.5 pounds of muscle and will lose 3.5-4.5 pounds of fat in average two months period.

Keep in mind that for each pound of muscle you gain, you burn 40 to 50 more calories.
