thanks for sharing. I’ve got a particularly good piece coming out about the woes of fitness marketing to the female masses. Be sure you share that one with them.

I too stared at the models in Oxygen magazine for years, and spent mind numbing hours on the cardio machines and lifted in the high rep range like a idiot for over 10 years and got nowhere except skinny fat! I would eventually get sick of eating 800 to 1000 calories a day, then gorge myself and blow up like a balloon; literally packing on 20 pounds of fat in a month. This last go round (2010) for some reason I miraculously started doing it right. I did less cardio; 20 min max – 4 days a week, gave it my all throwing challenging weight around in the gym at 8-10 reps, and ate 1700 to 1900 calories a day and BAM! I was rocking my muscles like nobody’s business. Every woman at work commented on my muscles but God forbid they wanted to look like me. GOOD I say because I like being unique!
Damn me for falling off the wagon again. I’m day 2 back on the wagon – time for leg training! See ya and thanks for your awesome website.
I keep sharing it with all my female co-workers who are afraid of bulking up. Pfft, please…. a size 4 woman is not bulky!

I also used to believe that cardio was the answer to my prayers for weight loss but since discovering weights and body weights cardio is almost an ex. I like intervals but short and sweet .
I also love being able to eat more now I know what I should eat an when I should eat it, plus I don’t have to eat rabbit food because it doesn’t help build up my muscles.
Great post JC lots more females should read this and take your advice.
