Strong is beautiful...

A lot of women are afraid of weights and strength training in general because they don't want to build a lot of muscle. They are afraid that they will start to look bulky or manly. And I must admit that at one time I was one of those women who thought those same things... I didn't want to look like the female version of the hulk. But as time has gone by I have really came to love my muscles. My muscles show that I work hard and that I am strong. And I love being strong!! Rather than continuing to give in to the lie that being as skinny as a rail is the only thing that is beautiful in the world, I have decided that having muscles is wonderful & being healthy is so much more beautiful. And I can honestly say that since I have embraced my muscles & have sought out to be more healthy I feel more confident, happy and I'm going to say it... sexy. It feels good to feel good!!
