New Australian research has found that if women want to gain strength through weight training, the most effective way to do it is to simply work out on a regular basis.

Led by the University of New South Wales along with researchers from Western Sydney University and the University of Sydney, the new study is one of the first to investigate how the female body responds to resistance training after lead author Dr Amanda Hagstrom noticed that most research included only men.
