From "How a ‘Swole Woman’ Lifted Her Way to a New Outlook and Online Influence", two key concepts:
- "... weight training is about taking ownership of one's body"
- "... [these are] tools to build a body that can more seamlessly move through everyday life ..."
... and a great body-mind metaphor:
| "I can get stronger, and my body doesn't just exist to either be a meat sack that holds my brain in, or to look attractive to other people." |
... good thoughts about balance and strength!
