Common misconceptions about weight training for women include the belief that it leads to bulky muscles, while in reality, strength training promotes a toned appearance. Many women fear that lifting weights will negatively affect their femininity or appearance, when, in fact, resistance training helps in fat loss and enhances metabolic rate. Additionally, some believe that weight training is unsuitable for women of all ages, but strength training can benefit women at any stage of life, improving bone density and reducing injury risk. Educating women on these topics can encourage more participation in strength training.
