I have a question reguarding the amount of weights women should lift. I have been lifting for 3 years and I have been increasing my weights. I have heard that women should not lift to heavy. I enjo lifting and I want to continue to challage my body. should I continue to increse my weights?
Thank you,
Patty

I have been doing weight lifting now for about 3 months with no cardio. I do a circuit program with little time in between machines. I do 10 reps to failure and concentrate on the large muscle group. Also, the diet has been clean, little or no starches or sugar. I have seen better results than I ever saw with years of cardio (same diet). Also, the big secret!!! Cardio made me HUNGREY. The weight training does not. My body is changing in ways I could not have imagined. I wish I knew this years ago!!!!!

Thank you for explaining this in easy to understand terms. Especially the comment about form! Not doing it right has been my biggest hinderance to lifting on my own. Now I can use all the equipment I have purchased and stored in my "exercise room".
