THE GIRLFRIEND WORKOUT. This is a new blogsite I found dedicated to females working out, why they should not be scared to strength train, and how important it is to incorporate this into your life. The info is valuable; good, written in similar style to a "Shape Magazine" article, but far less stupid in content.

WOD:
"AM(deadlift)RAP"
in 20 minutes complete as many rounds as possible of:
5 pushups
10 squats
15 situps
**after every 3rd round, you must perform 3 deadlifts at 75% of your 1RM**
