Some Thoughts On Training Women (Post # I Don’t Know, I Lost Count)
“Can we please just shut-up about Tracy Anderson!?!” Those were some powerful words uttered by David Dellanave of Movement Minneapolis last weekend during the Expert Panel at The Fitness Summit.

3 Reasons Your Female Clients Aren’t Seeing Results
Note from TG: Today’s post comes courtesy of Molly Galbraith. She and the rest of the Girls Gone Strong pack released their new resource, The Modern Women’s Guide to Strength Training, today.
