Women are not small men. There are real physiological differences between the sexes.

But here is where fitness myths take a wrong turn.

Research continues to show that when training volume and intensity are matched, men and women adapt remarkably similarly relative to where they started. In plain English, muscles respond to challenge regardless of who is lifting the weight.

That means women do not need magical female specific workouts. And men do not own the rights to barbells.

The basics work for nearly everyone: strength train regularly, recover well, eat enough protein, and stay consistent.

Your best workout is not the one marketed to your gender. It is the one you enjoy enough to do for years.

Do you think fitness programs focus too much on gender? Let me know below.
