Boot~ique: Women need muscle, too

Many ladies attend the gym regularly, workout, and lose weight. But many ladies have a fear of resistance training and lifting weights in general, because they are afraid of gaining muscle.

I have heard many women say that they only do cardio because they "don’t want to start to look like a man." They refuse to lift a single weight over 3 lbs, because they think their bodies will "bulk up."  

The truth is - muscle isn’t just for men, and just because you lift weights, you will not become bulky or turn into a man.

Boot~ique: Why women need protein

If you are a woman, you need protein, plain and simple. While that doesn’t mean you have to eat hamburgers every day, it does mean that you can and should incorporate healthy protein into your diet five times each day.

Protein is great because it assists healthy weight loss and encourages lean muscle mass. The consumption of protein reduces your waistline over time because it takes longer to digest, metabolize, and use. Since proteins remain in your stomach longer, they keep you full for more time than other foods.
