Top 4 Strength Training Myths for Women

Top 4 Strength Training Myths for Women

When it comes to strength training for women, there are several pervading myths that never seem to go away and are always brought up as reasons why women should not do it.  The following are the four most common ones that I have come across.

1.    I’ll Bulk Up.  This is probably one of the most pervasive, albeit incorrect myths out there.  Women simply do not have the correct hormone profile to build huge, bodybuilder type muscle.

2.    Muscle Will Turn to Fat if I Stop.  Rest assured that this is physiologically impossible.  Muscle and fat are 2 completely different tissues and one cannot change into the other.

3.    High Reps and Light Weight.  This is one of those myths that’s repeated so frequently it “has to be right”.  Muscle must be stressed in order to be strengthened and toned.  Light weights simply do not supply enough resistance.

4.    Women Only Need Cardio.  Cardio is one part of a complete fitness regimen, but by no means the be all and end all.  Just doing cardio will cause muscular imbalances and overuse injury.

So Then What Are the Real Benefits of Strength Training for Women?

• Increases metabolism rate due to an increase in muscle and a decrease in fat
• Has a positive impact on bone density and reduces risk of osteoporosis
• Aids in preventing injury by building stronger connective tissues to increase joint stability
• Increases functional strength for sports and daily activity
• Increases lean body mass and decreases nonfunctional body fat
• Improves self-esteem and confidence

Woodcrest Country Club (WCC) and Cherry Hill Health & Racquet Club (CHHRC) announce partnership to offer members a larger variety of programs and amenities.

Woodcrest Country Club (WCC) and Cherry Hill Health & Racquet Club (CHHRC) announce partnership to offer members a larger variety of programs and amenities.

Beginning Tuesday, June 23, 2015, WCC members are invited to participate in adult and youth tennis programs on any of WCC’s three har-tru tennis courts. All tennis programs are run by experienced CHHRC tennis pro’s. Their tennis staff will provide fast moving tennis programs that combine fun games, strategies and a good workout for tennis players of all ages and levels. This partnership will give WCC members the opportunity to learn from South Jersey’s top tennis professionals, with the convenience of never having to leave their country club.

WCC is also extending a special discounted Social Membership to all current CHHRC members. This membership includes access to the WCC pool, all tennis programs, discounts on all WCC summer camp programs, a la carte dining and beverage service, as well as a 10% discount on golf. This entire package is only $500 for the season, a 60% savings. 

CHHRC is well known in the community as a family health club providing fitness and racquet programs for all ages and abilities. Together, with WCC they are now able to extend their tennis programs to an entirely new demographic. “Partnering with WCC is a win-win for everyone involved. There are so many benefits for all members. It’s a great opportunity to provide great tennis, golf and social opportunities to families in the South Jersey area,” says CHHRC owner Chuck Epstein. 

Previously an 18-hole private country club, Woodcrest is now open to the public as a semi-private country club and is inviting CHHRC members to take advantage of pristine greens, challenging fairways and beautiful landscapes. “We look forward to these great synergies for both clubs,” says WCC owner Matthew Haydinger.
Join both clubs as they celebrate the partnership with a Member/Guest Open house on Tuesday, June 23rd 6:30 pm—8:30 pm. Meet the CHHRC tennis pro’s, learn more about the new tennis programs, enjoy food, drinks, games and more!
