Last week I looked at a study about sedentary women doing strength training. This week I thought it might be interesting to look at a recent study that considered how well overweight and obese premenopausal women adhere to a two-year twice-weekly weight training intervention.

It’s a bit of an odd post this week. Especially after my post a little while ago, Dedication to your Goals. I’d like to say right at the start that I am still as dedicated to my goals as I always was. However, an article by Scott Abel a couple of months ago got me [...]
