Stretch marks are linear scars that occur on the body when the skin is stretched past its flexibility capacities. This normally happens due to sudden weight gain caused by pregnancy, a burst of growth during puberty or bulking up for body building. The hormonal surges that can accompany pregnancy and puberty also contribute to the development of stretch mark scars.

I can remember, many years ago when it was age-appropriate, reading an article in one of those teen magazines. It was memorable, I suppose, because it was the first time I recall feeling a sense of outrage at the less-than-subtle suggestion that I wasn’t good enough because I didn’t look like the model on the magazine cover. I had been through a doughy phase at around 13-14, but I was back to a normal weight by 16.

On the other hand, there are others who are ultra-sensitive about their body weight and appearance.

The importance of strength training for women should not be underestimated. Strength training as a form of exercise gets little to no attention compared to cardiovascular training. Traditionally, women relied on cardiovascular activity and a low calorie diet to change their physical appearance. Unfortunately, low calorie diets are perceived as torture, and not realistic for the long run, and at the same time, slow down the metabolism. Without including consistent strength training in our program, weight loss and physical change can be an impossible goal. Strength training has been overlooked as a viable weight loss method for way too long.
