Lifting Weights Changed My Life

I'm not joking. 

I've heard all of the "if you start working out you will feel better about yourself". And that is true. But I was mainly sticking to cardio and believed in the myth that lifting weights will make a woman bulky or "unfeminine". But lifting weights was one of the biggest moves I made for myself, and it has changed my life. 

It was May 2013 when I started lifting weights. I even remember taking Wednesdays off so I can go to the gym to use the weights - I called it Weights Wednesday xD 

I think after about 3 weeks, I started to really see some results - especially in my arms. I was hooked! I started to go maybe twice a week. The only thing that was holding me back was the soreness xD I was such a baby and would not go more than two days in a row because "I was too sore" :P 

I love lifting weights, but sometimes I feel like I'm not doing it enough to be really pushing myself. Sometimes I feel like I'm not really getting anywhere with it. I've always been in my comfort zone when it comes to the weights on the machines (ie. lat pull-downs and cable rows). It's rather in the free weights that I'm able to keep increasing the resistance. 

I blame the lack of consistency I have with the gym and the gaps I have between gym sessions (ie. 3 days off work and at the gym, and then 4 days at work with no workouts except walking all day). 

But the point of this post is that - doing something you've never done before, or have been afraid to do, maybe be the best choice of your life (except for drugs!) 

Cheers!
