Every time I see those "fitspo" images I cringe... they are far from empowering, but rather the same ol same ol'... treating women's bodies as objects. Instead of being super scrawny, now women are supposed to be super ripped. Ugh. There's a reason those images are called Fitsperation--they are the same as Thinspiration (images people use to inspire their eating disorders).
That being said, I love lifting heavy things. Nothing more empowering than being able to carry around things that weigh more than I do!
