New Website Eases Women's Journey from Aerobics to Weight Training

Statistics show women still rely on aerobics to be slim, healthy and young. Thousands of joint injuries later, with cellulite-ridden bodies still intact, they are turning to the other alternative -- strength training. A women's weight training Web site, TheFitWomanOnline.com, is available to ease the transition.

Due to longevity and physical constitution, women are particularly vulnerable to osteoporosis, muscle loss, joint disease, decreased coordination, hunched-over posture and all the other problems associated with frailty in old age. Imagine a world free of these ailments -- a world with no chronics illnesses or nursing homes where individuals remain active until the end of their life span, at which point they calmly close their eyes and pass on to the next level of being. Unless more women adopt a sensible strength training program, the promise of such happy endings remains tenuous.

TheFitWomanOnline.com encourages women to use free weights and other equipment that has worked for many decades in developing strength, posture and coordination. Neither a bodybuilding portal nor an infomercial-mart, TheFitWomanOnline.com offers fitness apparel for pregnant women, weight lifting gloves and other items geared to female bodies. Many products are for home use, enabling women who do not want to workout in a body building atmosphere to train in private or with partners of their choice.

Ironically, it may be women who will bring weight training to a whole new world of fitness rather than sport. The intensity involved in body building and powerlifting competitions is often not conducive to healthy aging. By contrast, weight training performed to enhance natural movement and muscle development, has been shown to turn back the clock.

"The world of fitness-oriented strength training is where women want to go," says Janet Ford, President and General Counsel of PowerFit LLC, owner of the FitWomanOnline.com Web site. "We intend to assist women with their journey to the other side of pumping iron."
