Women! Exercise because it's good for you, and exercise because you can. Because not too long ago, that shit was not acceptable.
As extra motivation, here is fucking badass Olympian lifter Holley Mangold. Just look at her face as she makes the clean (gets it to her shoulders) before she finishes the jerk (gets it overhead). The pride and nervousness and determination and god, just everything that shows on her face right before she jumps into that split to get the bar up overhead. It makes me tear up.

YOU GO, HOLLEY. And you go, too, girl. You all go with your badass selves.
