Today’s post is all about weight lifting for female beginners. This post contains lots of helpful tips to get better results, prevent injury, and make you look like a weight lifting pro, even though you only just started!

I neglected weight training for a long time, opting instead for the ever-popular cardio.

However, I can now say that weights have had the biggest effect, not only on my sense of empowerment, but also my physique.

By this point in time, you’ve probably already read hundreds of posts/articles/ads/etc. on how to lose weight.

There’s information everywhere. The business world took off with this high-demand product, and now there are many expensive programs and books that tell you what to do to lose weight.

The really confusing part: there’s SO MUCH conflicting information out there. Are you supposed to cut out carbs? Or be a high-carb vegan? Are you supposed to do steady-state cardio 60 minutes a day? Or should you be doing high intensity interval training (HIIT)?

”In this hectic world of deadlines and stress, we have recognized the importance of slowing down at least once a day.”

Wait.

You don’t meditate?

Every single day??

For an hour at a time????

I recently was listening to a podcast called “#Adulting” by Zack Peter and Nikki Sharp (very good, by the way!), and I found myself extremely surprised by what they and their guests were saying.  On the podcast the two hosts talk with doctors and other health experts about various health/lifestyle trends. They discuss their validity and whether or not we all should be doing them. I got my jolt of surprise when nearly every expert they talked with said they meditate.
