Any woman can be strong. I don t just mean strong in mental aspect. 1. You may think that strong women are born, not made. You may be thinking of Olympic weightlifters lifting dozens of kilos over their heads, or of bodybuilders posing.

2. It is a requirement for everyday life. Strength is what you need if you carry your luggage. You need to be strong to pick your child up off the floor. And, most of all-especially as you get older-you need strength simply to stand up without falling over.

As we age, we progressively lose muscle mass, which can make us weaker.3. We might have trouble going up and down steps, picking up something heavy, even standing up from a seat. But while ageing is unavoidable, building muscle through strength training is meaningful.

A programme that is becoming more and more commonly used is Starting Strength. The basic Starting Strength programme consists of four different lifts. Trainees learn these lifts step by step.4. Three times a week they perform three of the lifts. If they are successful in a period, they then add 2.25kg in the next period.

But barbell (杠铃) lifting doesn’t just offer physical strength; it also gives women emotional and mental confidence.5.

A. But strength is not just about appearances.

B. I mean simply being able to fight against gravity.

F. In daily life, the actions we take for granted become more and more difficult.

G. However you feel about your body, you can become the strongest version of yourself.
