A member asked:
Do women get the same benefits from exercise as men do?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Exercise is an important way for women and men to achieve optimal health. Some women shy away from strength training because they're afraid they'll get bulky manly muscles, but it won't happen. Men and women should work for a balance of fitness including cardio, strength, endurance, flexibility and body composition.
