No, women don't need to lift weights. They don't need big muscles. That is a rather feministic comment. There's nothing wrong with jogging or doing simple exercises, but lifting weights?
| Quote: | | You may not be sexist but you may misunderstand what it means to be feminine if it's leading you to think women don't need healthy competition and exercise as well (you too SS). That's not a gender thing, that is a human being thing, part of what makes us healthy and happy. |
I never said women don't need exercise. But they don't need to play sports or lift weights (and by sports I'm refering to masculine ones like basketball and baseball, if a girl wants to skate or something like that then there's no real harm in it, as long as she doesn't turn it into a career). I know lots of women who just walk or jog for their exercise, nothing else. They're in healty shape.
| Quote: | | It helps her have more energy for her daily duties. Most of us would be better wives and mothers in many ways for exercising. It doesn't take away from the traditional role at all. |
Exercising is good for you health, but it does not in any way make you a better wife or mother. Women make good wives and mothers by good morals.

Yes, women need more than cardio. Women lift weights to time and strengthen nor to bulk up. Men lift heavy weights with fewer reps, women lift light weights with many reps. The two techniques have very different results. Most women lift 3,5 and 8 lb weights, which will never give a woman a masculine physique.
Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. There is a lot of middle ground between girls playing football and never exerting themselves more than walking around the block. Pregnancy, birth and mothering takes a lot out of a woman's body, the fitter she is, the better for her and her family. The greatest morals in the world don't get a family fed, laundry done, a house clean or the myriad of other things that go by the wayside when a mother is too sick, weak or in pain to care for her family.

We do have a basic right, with the dignity of being human, body and soul, temples of the Holy Ghost, to want to look and feel our best. There's nothing wrong with that until it is given higher priority than it deserves. |
The point Oremus was making is that most women don't exercise primarily for health reasons, it's all about looking good. Something I notice about alot of women who DON'T buy into the feminist movement is that they don't exercise or work out much. If they're overweight then fine. Otherwise, they don't need to work out.

Lifting weights has never been proven to help women with pregnancy. And they don't need to "bulk up". They're women!
