If you’re starting a weight training program, or any exercise program, it’s important to consult with a doctor before you begin.  Many people have misconceptions about weight training programs, and these can be easily dispelled with the facts offered by Cinergy Health.

Women often worry that weight training will make them look too muscular.  This is not usually the case, as women respond to weight training in a different way than do men.  Women typically bulk up less since they have less testosterone.

The popular statement “no pain, no gain” is false. Your body will adapt to weight training and will not remain sore all the time.  Just because you aren’t sore and uncomfortable doesn’t mean that you aren’t benefiting from the weight training program.
