Weight training for women!!!

Now you must be scratching your head. Women in weight training? !!!

But for your surprise they do it and they do it well. Many women are reluctant to get into weight training or if they do, are reluctant to progress and lift heavier weights for fear of looking like a female bodybuilder!.

The female bodybuilder!!

Do your weight training and you will look better than ever!

You cant really get big muscles! It is really hard for women to build huge muscle. Women don’t possess the right hormones for it. Then how are the female bodybuilders so huge? They are steroid freaks. If you stay away from roids and male hormones, you’ll be absolutely fine.

Considering the fact that weight training do build muscle, you won’t loose your feminine looks, but you will look more shapely and firm. A little bit muscle on your shoulders and gluteus will make your waist look smaller and your waist will appear small.

Oh then my weight will go up!! Don’t worry. Having more muscle will increase the metabolic rate and you will burn more calories. Muscles consume more calories for just their being in the body. If you have a pound of fat in your body, to stay it does nothing, but if you have an extra pound of muscle, it burns a lot of calories throughout the day. This makes your fat burning goals easier. And moreover having less muscle and more fats, “muscle-to-fat” ratio declines as we get older. This in turn lowers the metabolic rate to increase fat. Weight training can put an end to this or work in the reverse. So you can look younger in your old age. (You will look relatively younger compared to the women of your age group)

I have seen many women progress in their fat loss and fitness goals better with the weights, cardio and proper diet, than the women resorting to cardio and diet alone.

Advantages listed to motivate you

• Weight training increases bone density in women.
• Older women in postmenopausal period are easily prone to osteoporosis and weight training can really help them fight its onset.
• It strengthens the muscles, making the cardio easier.
• At an older age women will feel more independent and functional if they possess strength in their body.

Enjoy your workouts

If you don’t like the idea of traditional exercises like squat and deadlift, try your hands on the machines. Nowadays we have a hell a lot of machines out there in the gym which can really make you feel as if you are inside a robot operating it Or get into bodyweight training or use more unconventional resistance like sandbags, medicine balls etc.

Training with a friend also makes the whole thing more fun. The bottom line is that for continuing health, strength and beauty, weight training is incredibly effective and it makes you feel great.

All the best!
