This is a great article by one of my favorite fitness bloggers, Nia Shanks, of NiaShanks.com. She embodies the confidence derived from a serious committment to strength. For those of you new to resistance training, this is a solid starting point.
I don’t devote many articles to beginner strength trainees, and this is a mistake on my part. To make up for my lack of beginner trainee information, this article is devoted to women who are just starting out strength training or want to get serious about it.
