To lift or not to lift, that is the question. Despite the popular sayings, "Strong is the new Skinny" or "Strong is the New Sexy," there is still a large portion of the female population that will shy away from lifting solely due to their fear of bulking up or building too much muscle. I'm not going to tell you that heavy weights won't help build muscle and I'm not going to deny the fact that some women can build muscle easier than others. Let's start with the photo below. This is a nice example of the female backside that shows two different body types. The woman on the left falls in the category of an ectomorph, which generally means skinny, little muscle, and a very high metabolism. She could probably eat what she wants and stay skinny. If she committed to a butt strengthening and enhancing program, filled with exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and kettlebell swings , developing the butt on the right would still be unlike

Thank you so much!
Thank you Roland. Being a mom makes being fit that much more rewarding.
Ouch! Wisdom teeth surgery can really take a toll on you. I'm sorry to hear that your recovery was so hard. Hope you are able to get a couple minutes of kettlebells in soon. I have to get my wisdom teeth taken out as well. Not looking forward to that. 8-(
I am sure you learned so much seeing Yoana go through her pregnancy, although she made it look easier than most. 8-) Thanks!
Finding time is definitely challenging. I just don't have much down time. Eventually I will find that balance, but for now I am constantly having different projects brewing. Thank you, I appreciate your kind words.
Best,
Rainer
You are so right! Kettlebells are perfect for lots of people. 8-) It just so happens moms need to know how well they will work in their crazy schedules. Many moms may be intimidated by them, unlike the daddies. Very cute, thank you. 8-P
