3 Facts About Weightlifting
1. Weightlifting is Safe.
Barbell weightlifting is among one of the safest forms of exercise, especially at LightHouse Women’s Weightlifting. We stick to the basics and attempt to master them.
The best workout is the one you will stick with. There is very low burnout in barbell weightlifting. 2 - 3 hours a week of weightlifting is all you need to make outstanding progress.
2. You Won’t Get “Bulky” — You’ll Get Strong, Toned, and Confident
A lot of women worry that lifting weights will make them look too muscular — but that’s a myth. Building significant muscle mass takes years of intense training and nutrition. What will happen is:
You’ll gain lean muscle that burns more calories all day long
Your metabolism will increase
You’ll feel stronger and more capable in everyday life
Think “toned,” not “bulky.” Strength training is the most effective way to sculpt your body and improve long-term fat loss.
3. Nutrition Speeds Up Results
Eat More Do Less! Many women are under eating and over training. Your body needs fuel to function properly. 1,200 calories and excessive cardio are a great way to wreck yourself.

3 Flaws When Starting a Workout Program
1. Too Much Too Soon
Being motivated to start is great, but you want to bottle some of that and start slowly. Jumping all in with a new workout program can lead to injury and burnout.
We introduce you to our program with 8 sessions over 4 weeks. That might sound like its not enough but trust me, it’s the perfect starting point when beginning weightlifting.
2. Random and Constantly Varied Workouts
Without the ability to track your workouts and record your progress you will undoubtably get lost and discouraged. Initial progress will likely occur but you will plateau. Our program is designed for long term results - through tracking and proven programming.
3. Training Without Guidance & Human Connection
In-person training with a supportive trainer is the only way to go. Home workouts will leave you cutting corners and likely training below your ability levels. If you need to train at home you should still get connected with a coach and community.
