As women we have a tendency to steer clear of weights. We’re afraid that we will end up big and bulky as opposed to lean and shapely if we do any type of resistance/weights based exercise.

It’s mid-afternoon and I’m feeling the itch to move my body, but instead I return phone calls, wipe the kitchen counter, sort my daughter Lilly’s school papers. I haven’t really moved in almost two weeks, at least in any meaningful way, and I’m in “the box,” a place of parched fear, scratchy overanalyzing, and tart self-judgment. I find myself here about five or six times a year,....
