Great idea. Women need physical activity as badly as men do. And resistance training (weight lifting) will increase bone density if done on even a semi-consistent basis. The concept of getting manly looking muscles is over-emphasized. Women will gain the benefits of weight training without bulking up because their testosterone levels are naturally lower.
