What happens when women lift weights?
I'll tell you what happens, they worry they're going to look like a guy. A lot of women think that as soon as they lift a weight they're going to grow huge arms, big traps, and they're boobs will vanish. Well, thats not going to happen, your always to going to look like a woman. Men have a much easier time building muscle then woman, why, because we have way more testosterone then women. Now this doesn't mean that woman can't build muscle, they can, you can, but it would be very hard for the average woman to have the same muscle mass as a man.
I think every woman, no matter what age, should train if they are able, it will boost your endorphins, it will help you get more toned, it will even help with your bone density.
All lot of women fall into the trap of only doing cardio, "cardio will get me toned", it will....a little, lifting weights with a small amount of cardio after your workout is twice as good and beneficial.
Do your research, pick out a training program and have fun, you'll surprise yourself.

A consideration to the attention they would get could also be considered, Men look sexy with Muscles, Women mostly don't.
Many women look very sexy with muscles. Guess tastes are different - or you're thinking of female bodybuilders. In that case I have to say: male bodybuilders look like shit too.
Man I can't wait to hit the gym when we get home! I love your tiny little local gym, looks sufficiently dank, cramped, dirty and low ceiling'd haha.
Faster results with less work is my kind of workout 🖒
Agreed. Exactly. You need a good amount of testosterone to build muscle. Women naturally do not have much testosterone compared to men (generally). Hence, it's a lot harder to build muscle for a woman (naturally). :) Now of course using steroids, you could overcome that natural barrier, but yeah. And of course, there are some exceptions. Some women have more testosterone, sometimes even equal to an average man. So for them muscle may be built more easily. But my guess is that they tend to look "manlier" as well. So it's easier to tell when this is the case.
