Weight Lifting Exercises For Women: The Only Way To Become a Goddess
There are two things that keep women from adding weight lifting exercises for women to their gym regimen:
1. The fear of becoming overdeveloped and unfeminine, and
2. The belief that you have to join a weight lifting gym in order to do it.
The good news is that neither is true.
Allow me to explain.
The women you see on Muscle Magazine have been weight training for years, and they have a highly specific diet they stick to in order to build muscle mass—lots of it.
So, unless you’re reading the same materials, clocking the same gym hours, and taking the same supplement cocktail as Helga Hamstrung the female King of muscle, don’t be afraid to add a few weight lifting exercises for women to tone your body and keep it strong and sexy.
What’s even better, you don’t have to join a gym. There are plenty of weight lifting exercises for women that can be done right in the home, using a combination of inexpensive dumbbells—available at any sporting goods store—and resistance work to get a comprehensive workout.
Here are a couple of exercises to get you started:
Biceps
Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, and your dumbbells at your sides, palms facing your hips. Keep your elbows in, and raise the dumbbells to your shoulders. If you need to use your body in order to complete the lift, the dumbbells are too heavy. Hold in the upper lift position, and then slowly lower the dumbbells back down to your sides.
Triceps
Stand in the same position as you did for the biceps exercise, but with one hand on the hip and the other raised above your head—arm bent, with the dumbbell behind your head. Then, without moving your arm from the shoulder to the elbow, raise the dumbbell up until your arm is straight (but not locked) and hold for five seconds before lowering slowly back to behind your head.
Shoulders
Assume the same position of the biceps exercise, including the “at rest” dumbbell position. But instead of lifting your arms, lift your shoulders—rolling them slowly.
Back
Same position as for biceps again, but this time your are going to keep your palms facing your hips as you bring up your arms, fully extended, up to shoulder height—almost as if your arms were wings and you wanted to fly away. Hold and slowly bring your arms down back to your sides.
Forearms
Find a place in your home where you can stand and place your arm across a surface at about elbow height. The corner of a kitchen counter works, as well as the back of a sofa. Place your forearm (elbow side down) across the surface, with the dumbbell and your palm facing up. Then, bend your hand at the wrist toward you. Hold, and release slowly. Be careful not to release your fingers too much because the dumbbell will fall.
Legs
Stand up straight, feet together, dumbbells in each hand. Then lunge forward with one leg, so that your back knee almost touches the floor (but not quite!). Hold for five seconds, and then come back to standing before lunging with the opposite leg.

why does my dog try to lift up my cats with her head?
My dog has a bad habit of chasing our cats which I am trying to break her of. She a breed that was bread to hunt small animals. Anyway, she's not aggressive at all towards them, in fact she acts like it's more of a game. When she gets to them she puts her head under their body and lifts up, what is she doing?
She's probably showing she's the boss, or disciplining the cat. My dog thinks my youngest cat is his, and did carry him a bit when he was very little. Now that he weighs 19 pounds, though, he gets dragged by his head if he is caught picking on my old, old cat. They play that way, a lot, too.

Healthy Weight Lifting Women: Sleek, Lean Feminine Muscle Always Turns Heads
You’ve seen women weight lifters before. You know, the 250 plus pounders who do it professionally. They look a little strange; a little unfeminine; a little like Bob, your next door neighbor; a little scary, to tell the truth. But not all women who lift weights look like that. There is a happy medium. Is there a way to add strength training and healthy weight lifting to your exercise routine, without transforming into Brian Urlacher?
As the President would say: “Yes, you can!” The women who you see on ESPN are professional weight lifters. They train for hours each day, and they have specialized diets that are super high in protein and help them build great amounts of muscle mass.
To even keep up with those women you have to do a lot more than just lift weights—you have to lift very heavy weights very often, and supplement heavily.
Unfortunately, the fear of overdeveloping your muscles and bulking up keeps many women from including weight training in their fitness routine. Luckily, there are tips from healthy weight lifting women that will ensure you will get the strength you need - and still appear feminine and gorgeous, just like you want.
Don’t be afraid to use the heavier weights. There is no truth to the adage that says very low weights plus high repetition equals muscle tone. Sure, it’ll get you there eventually - but it takes much, much longer and the health benefits just don’t compare to using heavier weights and less reps.
By using some of the weight machines at your gym, you can build the strength your body needs to stay in shape and make it easier for you to do your cardio work. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular exercises.
1. Use the leg press machine. This is the one that you lie down on, with your knees bent and your feet up against the vertical surface. Then push back using your legs until they are extended. Be sure not to lock your knees, and keep your back flat against the bench. Hold the extended position, and then slowly come back to the bent-leg position.
2. To work your biceps, use one-hand dumbbells. Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and the dumbbells at your sides, palms facing your hips. Keep your elbows in, and raise the dumbbells to your shoulders. If you need to use your body in order to complete the lift, the dumbbells are too heavy. Hold in the upper lift position, and then slowly lower the dumbbells back down to your sides.
3. Triceps exercises firm up the “fat” part of your arms—the part underneath that tends to swing like a turkey gizzard when your arms are raised. And who doesn’t want to tone those up? Stand in the same position as for the biceps exercise, but with one hand on the hip and the other raised above your head and then bent, with the dumbbell behind your head. Then, without moving your arm from the shoulder to the elbow, raise the dumbbell up until your arm is straight - but not locked - and hold for five seconds before lowering slowly back to behind your head.
Don’t be afraid to lift a little bit of weight. It’ll tone up your figure, and did I mention improve your libido?
