Why Are Women Afraid of These Metal Things Called Dumbells?

I've noticed a pattern in all gyms across America, Finland, London and Malaysia. Just drop by any cardio station and you'll see almost an equal number of men and women stomping mindlessly to the rhythm of the treadmill or the swirling of the stationary bike. And I mean mindless because half of them seem to be trapped in the "I have to do 40 minutes of continuous aerobic exercise or I'll be on a guilt trip for the rest of the week an end up binging to make myself feel better".

Then drop by the free weight area. You'll be lucky to find a woman who's pumping iron confidently in the middle of the room, oblivious to th grunts and clanging of 200 lb dumbells being thrown around in a fit of testosterone rage.

Oh, ok, so it's me. But seriously, where are all the women, and why are they not taking advantage of the one thing that will GIVE them what they are striving to achieve? A better & toned body?

I'm baffled. Really.

Oops, gotta go hit the weights.. Be back for more later..
