This should be common knowledge.

Ok...I'm a woman...who trains 3x a week...my goal is weight loss. I prefer to train like "men do". I currently have a trainer who I had to talk some sense into because I was frustrated with all his little weights and ridiculously high reps. We now do a more challenging workout that makes me feel better. I prefer to lift heavier, and keep things moving...it makes me feel more accomplished...that may be just me tho! I mostly do cardio on my own...aside from a boxing session on Fridays with pad training...cause I like to hit stuff....
