5/ But not every day is cheat day

6/ Exercising puts a real spring in your step

7/ But rest days are pretty awesome too

8/ If someone tells you lifting is for men – you know exactly what to say:

9/ Because you CAN have muscle without looking like Arnie

10/ Toned = muscle

Don’t fear it.

11/ Women CAN lift more than 2kg without bulking up

12/ Only birds should have a thigh gap
