From: Guinevere on 30 Apr 2006 01:59 Yes, that's right. I am 55 and I never used a weight until I was over fifty. I thought is was for body builders who wanted to show off. But when I developed Type II diabetes, one of the causes was lack of muscle tone causing my muscle cells to reject insulin. I went a senior citizens class and learned how to use dumb bells. I soon developed the best upper body tone I have had in my life. I still have a lot of weight to lose, but it's great to have so much more strength now, more than I had as a younger woman. And the extra muscle burns much more fat. I really appreciate that. I wish I had known this when I was sixteen or so, but it was a "boy's" thing and I was a girlie girl. The only girls I knew with muscles looked like boys. I'm glad things have changed now, for the sake of my daughters' generation. Now it is smart and femenine for women to keep themselves toned.

It doesn't really - that is a myth not borne out by research. > I wish I had known this when I was sixteen or so, but it was a "boy's" > thing and I was a girlie girl.

The info is out there that weights are great for all sorts of things, but that does not mean anyone but a small % is following it, as can be seen by the ever growing population of fat kids and adults. -- Will Brink @ http://www.brinkzone.com/

I am no fan of blanket statements, but one trip to the mall will probably offer many examples of fat girls, and perhaps surprisingly unfazed fat girls. Many women will wear a belly shirt that shows off an actual belly. Twiggy is no longer. Kate Moss finally got her burger. But, again, I'm no fan of blanket statements and so for every overweight young woman happily waddling through the mall there's a fit and athletic young woman working out on the track, in the gym, and on the courts. >The info is out there that weights are great for all sorts of >things, but that does not mean anyone but a small % is >following it, as can be seen by the ever growing population >of fat kids and adults.
