Since the key is to train in the anaerobic zone without depleting glycogen, for maximum benefit; which is much harder to do with cardio, and much easier to do with lifting; lifting makes an easier choice for many people.

I also read that even with lifting, that the body seems to adjust within around 5 weeks; and thereafter, Cortisol responses are virtually eliminated.

Sounds like lifting has many advantages for people who don't like to exercise, and especially for women. "Just like you have been saying all along!"
