Feel good Sunday: The power of weightlifting for women

Weightlifting isn’t just about reps — it’s about resilience. In her TED Talk, Dr. Jaime Seeman (an obstetrician-gynecologist) packs humor with hard science to show how building muscle is one of the best defenses against women’s top health risks.

Forget the myths. You don’t need to get bulky to benefit. Strength training combats heart disease, cancer, stroke — and helps counter the 1% muscle loss women face each year after 40. Your future self will thank you for picking up those dumbbells.
