To the women of this community:
•You have the right to get as strong as possible
•You have the right to be strong, sexy, and serene http://BrownstoneFitness.com
•Strong muscles work whether you wear halter tops or hijabs
•You don’t need anyone’s permission to develop those muscles
•Working out used to be about “toning up” or shaping your “core”
•Now your workouts are about developing the fierceness that is part of your true nature
•You have a responsibility to recover as hard as you train
•You have a responsibility to train hard
•Restriction and deprivation are for victims and fools
•Your body will serve as your message and your armor
•You have the right to ignore strange men who call out to you on the street
•You have the right to fight like a predator when your safety is threatened
•Kindness is important but toughness is essential
•Playing with pain (vs. injury) is part of the game
•You’re here to develop a strong shoulder to lean on
•You’re here to develop hands that can caress or crush
•Your obligation is not only to yourself and your ego but to the generation of girls that is watching you.
•May you live long and move strong
