Women & CrossFit 

"When I arrived at the Crossfit gym I was under the illusion that weight training was for people that wanted huge muscles." Lorraine (Co-Owner Crossfit Dental)

Within a short time of lifting weights and reading about weight training I realised how wrong I was. Its a misconception that women will "Bulk Up" if they lift heavy weights. "Nonsense!"

Its tough enough for men to pack on muscle, and they have much more of the hormones necessary to build muscle: Natural testosterone. Muscles need to be strengthened to help achieve a lean, healthy look. Properly conditioned muscles increase metabolism and promote weight loss.- its that simple.

Crossfit demands that women put down the light weights, step away from the treadmill and begin a strength and conditioning regime for the natural athlete in every woman.

This is part of the daily workouts I now really enjoy. I find them challenging, varied and extremely effective.

Be Prepared To Get Into The Best Shape Of Your Life!
