“I hate my job.” It’s a phrase that's thrown around pretty regularly between friends, family members, and even complete strangers discussing their unpleasant careers at the bar.

It wasn’t until my sister started getting into weightlifting that I decided to give it a shot. As someone who had previously approached exercise with a negative eye, I started with all of the same preconceived notions that many women do. However, after adapting to the lifestyle over a year ago, I cannot imagine a life without lifting. Here’s why!

There is still such a stigma associated with being ultra feminine from both men and women in our society...and it’s stupid.
