Also, a lot of women are afraid to do strength exercises because they think that they'll end up looking like those women bodybuilders, but that doesn't happen in real world because women don't have enough testosterone, so those women bodybuilders, who basically look like men, are actually on steroids.
I personally I think you can get by with just body weight exercises. Knew some guys who did some prison time where they had no access to weights or any substitution for weights, and some of those guys come out looking pretty ripped. I think you have to do an insane amount of reps compared to just having weights though.
At 6'3", 220lbs or so (depends on the day but that's where I hover), I'm pretty happy with my body and I do cardio and body weight exercises (push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, so on and so forth).
Weight training isn't NECESSARY but I'd imagine it's probably quicker.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
