resistance training for women. They talk about the common myths

your muscle, and how your hormones can affect your progress. They

your beliefs and behaviors can help improve your results. You’ll
learn how strength training can support your mental health,
increase your resistance to stress, improve your ability to care
for yourself and make you feel empowered. Finally, they discuss
the benefits of weight training for children and the myths that
