Heather is one of the Superwomen I train.
Here is what she did for a workout the other day.
4 rounds of…
1/4 mile run
5 reps bodyweight barbell deadlift
5 reps per arm of 35lb kettlebell thrusters
She is a mild-mannered nurse many, many hours per week, but turns into an absolute powerhouse when you lay a barbell, kettlebell, or tractor tire in front of her. One day she flipped a 400lb tractor tire for 45 reps, with 44lb kettlebell swings mixed in-between for fun.
We are closing in on 50lbs of weight-loss. She is definitely a different person now than when she trained at some sissy, corporate gym that catered to “women only” but cared nothing about fitness, past the price of her membership dues and over-priced personal training sessions.
Fitness for men and women isn’t different: Form follows function. Train and eat to be as strong and fast as possible, and the form will follow.
If you are a woman, and feel uncomfortable in a co-ed training facility, then you are in the wrong place. Respect and courtesy should be paramount in any legitimate facility. Male or female.
Everyone should be there to improve themselves, not be part of some “meat market.”
