In keeping with the “it’s okay for women to lift heavy things” theme from above, JC breaks down fitness marketing and how the mainstream media does nothing but placate many of the myths and fears that women generally have when it comes to lifting some iron.

SPOILER ALERT: there’s no mention of eliptical trainers, aerobic classes, “arms day,” or yoga. Thank god.
