After 40 it is incredibly tough! After every crossfit class I am sore for 2-3 days. The only down side is that I work along side people in the fashion industry and now dresses don't fit me in the arms. This is something I can live with, but when I get a job there is a lot of scowling involving my body. I agree….I am building muscle mass up. After 40 it is incredibly tough!

My best friend on the other hand is a size 8, lifts weights to tone up and still has arms like a twiglet! lol! I guess every woman has a different genetic make up and in some ways im thankful since im less likely to get severe muscle wastage when im elderly. However there is a constant appraisal of looks in this modern era so there is constant pressure to not go for my full potential, sometimes when ive had a bad day i listen, more often i dont. :-) Perhaps if more women trained into the shapes they are instead of going for the twiglet shape that is so desired and paraded, we'd all be happier and the men of this world would have more varied body types to get used to since the media would be forced to portray them and perhaps, in time, accept each and every woman for the sexuality within rather than often simply the wrapping.
