This is a great post. I'm always interested in reading about health and fitness. At the moment I prefer to exercise in the gym (both body-weight and dumbbells and barbells and so on) but I do come from a background of a lot of sports. (And I mean a lot; contemporary dancing, hockey, netball, karate, MMA, swimming, tennis and more.) I just love the feeling of power when lifting weights and challenging my body. I always love the results weightlifting gives me and how eating more actually makes my body look better! Most girls think lifting will make you bulky, but I've been doing for a little more than a year now and I'm still really petite and small with toned muscles. I appreciate when others share their knowledge about lifting and nutrition. I'd love to see more posts like this.
