1. Women who lift weights will be stronger and more capable in their everyday lives.
2. Weight lifting helps women to burn fat efficiently. The more lean muscle a female has, the higher your
     resting metabolic rate will be. Someone with a fast metabolism will burn more calories than someone
     with a slow metabolism doing the same amount of work.
3. When combined with cardio, weight lifting optimizes the body's defenses against heart disease. It helps
     decrease LDL cholesterol, increase HDL cholesterol, and lower blood pressure. It also helps the body
     process glucose more efficiently, lowering the risk of diabetes.
4. Weight lifting fortifies connective tissue and improves joint stability, which helps strength trainers to
     allay pain and lower their risk of injury. Certain people lift weights just so they'll have fewer muscle
     aches. Strength trainers also have increased bone density, lowering the risk of osteoporosis.
5. Weight lifting contributes to better sleep, helps people to blow off steam, and is one of the best ways
     to look and feel better about oneself. Who wouldn't like more confidence, especially when it comes with
     an enhanced capacity to burn calories?
