Good article. So true about men's cravings vs. womens. I crave that huge piece of chocolate cake, while hubby craves the steak.
If only we could get more women to lift heavier weights without being scared. I have friends that would read that article and still wouldn't believe it (that they won't get huge, that is). I try every chance I get to tell women to stop lifting the pink dumbbells. One day it just has to sink in.
Edit: The article also touches on something I was thinking about earlier today. When I went to the gym, I would see the same people there, doing the same light exercises, the same cardio, for a year...and they look exactly same the same now they did a year ago! I lifted heavy, went down in size, up in muscle and made positive changes. Why is it so hard for someone to make changes to their routine when they aren't getting the results they want for months at a time? Because they think they'll get big?? It's obvious what they are doing hasn't worked so far. Change it up people! (Ok, that wasn't directed to anyone here. I just get frustrated when I try to help women and I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall).
