Erin from HowCast stars in this video that features 9 tips for weight training for women. They include insights on everything from why women shouldn’t worry about “looking huge” from lifting weights to the need to build muscle mass as you age. Did you know that most women lose 5% of their muscle mass every 10 years starting at age 30? Neither did I until I watched this video.
As an added bonus, here’s a completely different video featuring Crissy from YouTube showing how to perform the Romanian Deadlift:

I want to lose weight but I don’t have equipments to do weight training,
but I do jog. So how do I lose weight and do weight training at home
without equipments?!
That the weights are lying is sooo true… I started weighttraining about 7
months ago, I’ve never looked better, still, I’ve gained almost 10 pounds,
and I’ve never weighed more… 🙂 It took some time to get used to the
number on the scale, but now I’m almost excited when the number is higher..
Haha. I love it weighttraining!
I must admit that I also thought she was a little chunky but I’ve seen
other videos of her and she’s pretty fit…she just has a full figure shape
she looks great…different body type than most are used to seeing probably
Thought this would actually give me woman-specific tips for lifting. Videos
like these are important of course, but most, almost all, how-to lifting
videos where they use more than 5 pound weights are made by men. There
needs to be more of these made by women because we have different body
types!
Wow I think she looks amazing, don’t know what people are talking about,
honestly I would love to have a body like hers
“you need to stretch for the muscle to [change shape and] look long and
lean”…not sure what the evidence is for this claim or is this just from
your experience ?
she dont even look like she works out it looks like she spends more time on
her teeth than on her body
Aren what is your perfect weight in kilos
Muscle does NOT weigh more than fat, muscle is just denser, that is all.
? where’s the tips?
These are some really good tips! Ever since I have been weight training I
have gained 10lbs and still gaining… Also my appetite has increased is
that normal? I have had trainers say it is and I should in take more
protein?
Your so wonderful and inspiring :)
music in background is annoying, i can’t concentrate what she is saying
People, now say goodbye to your unwanted fat. Start the ExprezSliminizer
plan and get the ever wanted results in no time.
The most reliable way to lose weight is through ExprezSliminizer.
FUCK OFF .YOU HAVE A FAT ASS GIRL U ARE NOT PRO.
OK to all those who are negative about what she is saying! Her body may not
be all toned but what she is saying is in fact true. I hear diffrent
theories and none of it work for me and as I came across this video as if
right now!!! I said to myself “Check, Check, and Check I did all that What
she is saying I see massive results in my body. She may not be toned or
muscular but she is smart on what she teaches.
I’ve been told that doing the alternating hand position on the bar is bad
for you, and I see you doing that here. What’s your opinion on the hand
position?
Perfect video, thank you!
0:04 The stiff legged deadlift and the romanian deadlift are DIFFERENT
exercises.
Good to mention that the neck should remain in neutral position since it´s
signals to the middle and lower back where they will be.
Great info, great body.. Happy holidays!
Information really great and the coolest is you 🙂
Thank you .. Continued not stand
Chrissy, I’ve been following the form you demonstrate in this video for
over year with great results. Sometimes a day or two after doing this
exercise I experience soreness in two spots: the outside of my left hip and
lower back. Should I be concerned? I have been using the foam roller on my
hips and it seems to help. Thanks.
Thanks for posting, Chrissy. When are you supposed to inhale and exhale
during this exercise? Cheers.
Do we bend our knees at all? Because I heard you do? Can you reply please.
Thank you.
@dumbtardface Especially as you go heavier, the form is really important to
protect your back
Great, great, great video. I love how she gives VERY detailed info on form,
and included the tip on the 3-point contact test. That part was actually
news to me, well done. All you folks that are trying to learn should
subscribe to this girl and follow her advice to the letter.
Thank u for the correct way
@pmilleroly27 Yes, that can be one way to loosen up hamstrings, but you may
also want to look at other problems that could alter your ability to do
this exercise. If you know of any trainers in your area that are trained by
Gray Cook, have them do the FMS screen on you to see if it is a hamstring
issue or coupled with a core activation issue,
Yes, this exercise will strengthen your low back as well as your grip
strength
incredibly informative, thnk you so much!
Nice video but RDL and stiff leg deadlift are different exercises.
Wonderful information! My old train said exactly the same thing. Awesome
thank you
This is a very helpful video. Thank you.
I want to thank you for sharing this great educational videos. It’s funny
that today’s trainer are certified through an online course and out of
shape. In addition, they certainly don’t know how to train their clients
properly and most of then have no interpersonal skills and are not very
encouraging at all. All they do is hold that stupid clipboard as if it’s
going to fly away.
Yes, depending on your goals
