Strength training for women is unparalleled for its benefits. It's one of the only activities that can boost strength, bone density, mobility, and metabolism, and fire up all those feel-good endorphins for mental wellbeing.
There are so many reasons to do it - on its own or alongside your favourite activity, be that yoga or walking. But it can be daunting if you aren't familiar with it and you don't have someone close to you who is. Also called resistance training or weightlifting, strength training uses weights like dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands to push your muscles to fatigue. You can also use your body weight as resistance and do a callisthenics workout for beginners.
