The article from MSN discusses the numerous benefits of strength training for women and provides guidance on how to get started.

For beginners, the article suggests starting with basic exercises like squats, lunges, push-ups, and planks, using body weight or light dumbbells. It emphasizes the importance of proper form to prevent injury, recommends starting with lighter weights and higher repetitions, and advises on the frequency of workouts, suggesting at least two to three sessions per week. Additionally, it encourages women to seek guidance from fitness professionals to tailor a program that fits individual needs and goals, and to progressively increase the challenge as strength improves.
