Many women are afraid that strength training will make them bulky. They think strength training is only for men. This is not true. For women it is harder to build muscle mass because of lower testosterone levels. And to look like a body builder a woman will need to take special suplements and steroids.

It is benefitial for women to do strenth training exercises because women naturally have less bone and muscle than men, so they need to take care of what they've got. That's why women are at greater risk of osteoporosis than men. And lost muscle puts women at greater risk of disability as they age.
